$1 Admission Fee

There will be a $1 per day admission charge for Sat. and Sun., and it includes performances by nationally-known country singers and much more family fun and entertainment in the village of Rosenhayn in Deerfield Township, Cumberland County, New Jersey.

With reductions in State funding and other revenue due to the economy, festival organizers ask its audience for a very modest $1 entrance fee on Saturday and Sunday at the event in order to be able to continue to present the outstanding line-up of local, regional and national music performers it is known for over Columbus Day weekend. 

Note that there is no entrance charge on opening night, Friday, and the fee on Saturday and Sunday is for people 6 years old and older only, and allows unlimited re-admission each day.

The Recreation Committee along with community groups, sponsor a large official parking lot near the festival. Official parking lot fee is $5. This also includes admission into the festival for up to five people per auto. Your fee benefits the festival and several community groups and includes free handicapped accessible shuttle buses to and from the official lot. It is also within walking distance, about two blocks if you wish to walk. The lot and the walkway to the festival are lighted and convenient.  Avoid parking in restricted areas as NJ State Police will be enforcing parking regulations to ensure safety and security and traffic flow near the festival area. 

Thanks to continuing support from area businesses and organizations including significant financial support from Comcast, Cumberland County Cultural and Heritage Commission and NJ State Council on the Arts, the entrance fee was kept at just one dollar. 

"We are hoping that those who have enjoyed the festival over history will understand the need for the entrance fee and support the festival in this way so we can continue to provide a family-oriented event with children's entertainment, special events, fireworks, parade and performances by national stars, rising stars and regional and local bands," said festival Chairman Roy Spoltore.
