Physical distancing, hand sanitizer and mask wearing while moving around is recommended. 

To make sure everyone can enjoy the music festival, there will be a seating arrangement in place. Those who will be bringing blankets/festival chairs will be sitting at the front, before the stage. If you choose to bring lawn chairs or folding chairs, seating will be behind those with blankets and along the sides of the audience space in section two. Bleachers will be on site and will be located behind those with lawn chairs and folding chairs. This seating arrangement will be implemented so that everyone can see the show from their seats. As the performances are only 45 minutes long, please restrict movement/walking during the performance unless absolutely necessary. For those with wheelchairs and other mobility means, please keep in mind that this festival will be held outdoors on a grass field. Please make appropriate arrangements to ensure mobility on the field is manageable for your needs.

Please note that there will be NO washrooms on site. If you require the use of a washroom please visit one of our neighbouring retailers or restaurants. Garbage and recycling bins will be available on site at the entrance and exit of the location. Please ensure you do your part to protect our environment and keep our green space clean. 

Please Note: We recommend bringing bug spray or wearing clothing that supports mosquito bite protection
