Tips & Advice
- Tickets go on sale 30 days before the festival opens, so watch for them in mid-November.
- Bring the kids along, since children 12 and under get in free and strollers are welcome on the show floor.
- Leave snacks and drinks at home because outside food isn't allowed, and use the concession stands inside instead.
- Get a handstamp before you step outside, whether to drop purchases at the car or to smoke, so you can come back in.
- Expect a bag check at the entrance, and leave firearms, fireworks and anything disruptive at home.
