Friday – Gates swing open at 2:00 PM and the party don’t stop ‘til 11:00 PM.
Saturday – We open the gates at High Noon and keep it kickin’ ‘til 11:00 PM.
The box office opens 2 hours before gates for any last-minute ticket wranglers.

We’ll post all the parking spots, maps, and tips two weeks before showtime — keep an eye right here.

Sure can — if we ain’t sold out! We strongly suggest you snag ‘em early to save some dough and skip the waitin’.

All sales are final, partner — unless the whole hoedown gets canceled. Can’t make it? Feel free to pass your ticket to a fellow cowboy or cowgirl.

We’ll be postin’ set times closer to the fest — but expect music to start shortly after the gates swing open!

Kids 5 and under get in free! Everyone else needs their own ticket to tangle.
