utensils at home. There will also be a variety of food and beverage vendors
at the festival as well.
Is re-entry to the festival possible?

Wristbands will be available within the festival grounds each day. Holders
of 4-Day Festival Passes must get a new wristband each day for re-entry.

Is the Festival area handicap accessible?
Yes. Wiggins Park is handicapped
accessible. There are handicapped port-a-potties and there will be a designated
area for wheelchairs.
What about security? Is the festival safe for a family?
Security is always a priority at every event. As they do with every festival at Wiggins
Park, Camden County officials provide a full staff of trained security and
traffic officials, and visitor service representatives are stationed along
the Waterfront. Both the Red Cross and EMS are present throughout the festival
to attend to any medical needs. And police and fire officials are also present,
and are an integral part of the overall safety and security procedures.
How can I get tickets to the festival?
Early bird ticket sales ended June 30, but you can purchase "print-at-home" tickets online, or buy tickets at the gate.
What's the 4-Day Festival Pass?
It's by far the best value we ever offered. With
the 4-Day Festival Pass, a single ticket gets you access to every day of
the festival (including Thursday night) for one low price. You must
present the ticket each day you attend (there are four stubs on each pass).
You'll also need to obtain a new reentry wristband each day you attend.
Will I need separate tickets to get into the Camden Children's Garden?
Your tickets for Saturday and Sunday include access to the Camden Children's Garden where Kids Corner is taking over for the weekend! All you'll need is to show your festival reentry wristband to be admitted to the Camden Children's Garden.
When is the Kids Corner in the Camden Children's Garden and what activities are available?
Kids Corner takes over the Camden Children's Garden at noon on Saturday and Sunday (July 12 & 13). View the complete list of Kids Corner activities
Can I get a refund or exchange my tickets? What if it rains?
There are no refunds or exchanges for any tickets. The festival is an
all-weather event and no refunds will be issued in the case of inclement
weather.
Are there assigned seats?
There are no assigned seats. All tickets are general admission. You may
bring low-back chairs or blankets, but no high-back chairs.
