PLEASE NOTE, we have changed the layout of the event! The band and stage will be located at the north end of the tents as in 2025. This will allow those who enjoy being up close and personal with the band to do so. Those of you who are there for the atmosphere and to visit will be able to be seated a little farther from the music...
Be sure and explain your preference when buying or tickets, please! Seating preference will be honored based on date of ticket purchase. For the best seats get your tickets early! We expect to put tickets on sale @Apil 15th. Be sure and sign up for updates from the Chamber below, so you are the first to know!
