ACCESSIBILITY
Handicap Parking is available for those who need it, please show your handicap parking placard to the parking attendant and they will direct you to the proper area.
Several Scout Troops will be on-site to assist patrons getting to-and-from their vehicles. Donations to the Troops are suggested.
RAIN DELAY/RAIN DATE
In the event of rain, the event will be postponed hour-by-hour until it is safe for the performance to occur. Should the weather be so severe as to cause a rain-out, the event will take place the following day. Same place, same time.
FOOD
While patrons are welcome to bring their own picnic, many tables choose to arrange for on-site catering or order from one of our local food trucks.
DRINKS
Guests are encouraged to bring a cooler with drinks of their choice. Please note, no alcohol is sold on site but you may bring it to the event - so BYOB!
Food trucks will be selling water and soft drinks.
TABLE SIZE
If you purchased a reserved table, table sizes are 8’ x 2.5’. Eight chairs will be provided per table. Tablecloths are not provided.
NO TENTS, CANOPIES, EXTRA TABLES
No tents (canopies, ez-ups, etc) or extra tables of any kind are allowed as they will obstruct the view and paths of other patrons.
NO FLAMES OF ANY KIND
No open flames of any kind will be permitted. This includes candles (even in enclosures), fireworks, sparklers, etc. (LED / flameless candles are permitted).
NO BALLOONS OF ANY KIND
Balloons pose a fire hazard as well as obscure the view of those around and behind you. Additionally, due to our close proximity to the Bluegrass Airport, balloons can interfere with flight patterns.
UBER/LYFT
There will be designated Uber/Lyft pick-up/drop-off areas. Please follow the directional signs as you enter Gate 1.
NO PETS ALLOWED
Sorry and thanks for your understanding.
BRING A SMALL FLASHLIGHT
Parking area lights will not be turned on until the conclusion of the performance; a flashlight may be helpful.
