The following items are prohibited:

- Beach umbrellas and tents
- High-back chairs
- Professional cameras with telescopic lenses
- Alcoholic beverages from outside the festival
(Beer will be available for purchase at the festival. New Jersey state law requires that you must be at least 21, and you must present valid and acceptable ID to purchase alcoholic beverages.)
- Audio and video recording devices
- Pets, except service dogs
- Smoking on the Festival grounds
- Illegal drugs
- Weapons of any sort (firearms, knives, explosives, etc.)
- Projectiles of any sort
- Laser pointers
Can I bring my own food and water?
Yes, you may bring your own food and water. However, please leave metal knives and 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?
Yes, you may reenter the festival after obtaining a wristband for that day. Wristbands will be available within the festival grounds each day. Holders of 3-Day Festival Passes must get a new wristband each day for re-entry.
Is the Festival area handicap accessible?
Wiggins Park is handicapped accessible. There's a designated area for wheelchairs. And, handicapped-accible port-a-potties.
Security
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.
Member Prices
You can get two (2) tickets per festival day or two (2) 3-Day Festival Passes at the XPN member price. Any additional tickets must be purchased at the non-member ticket price.
3-Day Festival Pass
It's by far the best value we ever offered. With the 3-Day Festival Pass, a single ticket gets you access to every day of the festival for one low price. You must present the ticket each day you attend (there are three stubs on each pass). You'll also need to obtain a new reentry wristband each day you attend.
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.
Kids Corner in the Camden Children's Garden Activities
Kids Corner takes over the Camden Children's Garden at noon on Saturday and Sunday (July 25 & 26).

Seating
There are no assigned seats. All tickets are general admission. You may bring low-back chairs or blankets, but no high-back chairs.
