About the Weekend

Fiddling Bear

It lasts from 4pm Thursday (9/3) to noon Monday (9/7). Come for all of it or part of it.

This is our 3rd year at the new site, so some aspects of the weekend may be different from previous years.

We go very easy on organization. The music is spontaneous, when and where you choose to make it.

We will have daily guided welcome jams.


How much does all this wonderfulness cost? Not much, but the cost of admission is higher than in the past, due to new expenses:

  • Thursday-Saturday: $60
  • 18 and under: free
  • Sunday arrival: $30
  • One-day trip, no camping: $30
  • (For those staying elsewhere, but coming back and forth: regular $60 ticket)
  • Cash, check or Venmo only

What about weather? Not under our control, but we've been lucky so far. Between the pavilion, and the big canopies lots of people bring with them, occasional rain has never been much of a problem.

FOOD and ICE: Rose’s Cantina, an on-site food trailer, will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
  •  Friday: noon to 8pm
  •  Saturday and Sunday: 8am to 4pm
They take Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal, and they have a Bar code printed out they can scan.
(Ice will be available for sale during open hours)

FIREWOOD will be provided and should be used sparingly so we don't run out. If you make your own fire pit, note that rocks and logs need to be COMPLETELY REMOVED and returned to where they were found by the end of the weekend.

DOGS: We do not encourage dogs coming to our event, but if you must bring your pet, please follow this set of rules:
  •  Keep dogs on leash at all times
  •  Clean-up after them immediately
  •  No roaming
  •  No significant barking
Please note: There are horses and other farm animals on an adjacent field, so leashes are essential.
