Weather is always something we plan for and around. We take the safety of the herd very seriously throughout the event. We certainly hope it will not be postponed. We monitor the weather throughout the week. Should it be postponed, we won’t do so until mid-late morning on Saturday. If it is postponed, it will be communicated via our website and our Facebook event page. We are always optimistic. If it’s postponed, we’ll be back the following Saturday our rain date.

We also sell beer, cider, and non-alcoholic beverages. We have a free water station behind the main stage to refill your empty water bottles. This is a picnic and you are free to bring food for yourself if you so desire. Styrofoam coolers are not allowed in Pease District Park.
Can I bring my favorite pet animal?
Yes, although we encourage you to leave them at home. With the multitudes of attendees and activity, your pet may not enjoy the event as much as you do. All pets need to be on leash. We do allow you to ride our shuttle buses with your well-behaved pets. And remember to keep them hydrated. There is a free watering station behind the main stage; bring a water dish for your pet.
