DOGS, MARRIAGE & FAIRYTALES

Although the details of each of the weekends haven't been listed yet, we can assume some are as they have been in the past. Woofstock is obviously the weekend we can bring our dogs. The Wine, Chocolate & Romance is an obvious favorite for those people who love chocolate or possibly want to get married in a medieval setting. I'm assuming there will be some really neat fairytale-type activities for 'Once Upon A Time' but at this point, activities have not been listed.

PARK AND RIDE OPTIONS RECOMMENDED

If you decide that you want to park and ride, there might be an incentive for you to leave your car and ride a bus in. Adult patrons over the age of 13 will receive $5 in 'Bus Bucks. According to the RenFest FB page, 'The coupon can be used to obtain a discount on one general admission ticket purchased at the Festival box office, or the $5 “Bus Bucks” can be used at any Festival merchandise shop on a souvenir purchase. Limit one “Bus Bucks” voucher per adult patron per day.'
