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

The Recreation Committee along with community groups, sponsor a large Official Festival Parking Lot near the festival. The Official parking lot fee is $5. * This $5 fee also includes admission into the festival for up to five people per auto. Be sure to park in the Official Lot to take advantage of this special offer.

Note that there is no free re-admission to the parking lot. If your take your auto from the lot, you will have to pay the parking fee to re-enter the lot.

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, NJ State Council on the Arts and Colonial Bank, the entrance fee is being kept as low as possible. 

We hope that those who have enjoyed the festival over its 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.
