faq: A few things overall:
We like to call our Festival a 'low waste' event. In other words, please try to use compostable or biodegradable products...and MAKE SURE to 'pack out' what you 'pack in'! Look after our gorgeous setting...our town...our World. You dig? :)
RE: Even ‘post’ covid…Please follow Vermont guidelines and common sense when attending our festival events - both indoor and outdoor. Remember that we are all trying to take care of our neighbors, simple as that. Please leave any politics, conspiracy theories, anti-science rhetoric at home. This is MUSIC…this is about community and being together - “I’ll take care of you…please take care of me”… gwp
One can purchase food, wine and beer at the Mainstage Beer Garden. Bringing alcoholic beverages purchased in the Beer Garden outside of the Beer Garden is forbidden by law…you will be asked to either stay within the Beer Garden to finish your drink, or leave your bevvie in there. Please cooperate. Please dispose of the containers responsibly; we will have plenty of trash and recycle bins In fact consume the beer and wine responsibly as well. Be smart...drive safe…and don’t be a jerk to locals and our fine Stowe Police Department.
Parking? Tons of parking at the Mainstage - our volunteers will help you get things sorted…NO PARKING on Weeks Hill Road…none, zero…You will also note that there are other parking lots nearby - they are not ‘ours’ - they are for Lacrosse parking…SJF parking is huge…please cooperate!
Food? Sure, bring a sandwich - but we warn you, you just might want to eat here - we'll have some great vendors; all sorts of snacks, too! In addition, several of our Festival sponsors are local restaurants that are on the Mountain Road or in the Village...real close by!
Best to bring your own water! Fact is, we are no longer able to provide filling stations for the audience - although we used to! So water is for sale from some vendors - depending on the year - but really, best to bring your own…HYDRATE, people !!
…that being said, if you DO bring plastic containers, please pack them out with you or use our many recycling bins!
Dogs!! Dogs are allowed on the SJF MainStage property as long as they are leashed! - please respect that - if you bring Fido, bring the leash!
Bring your chairs or blankets - and if it looks like rain, a windbreaker or umbrella…we don’t quit for rain! ;) No whining…it’s Vermont…weather changes here hour-to-hour.
…where to…’go’? Don’t fret…we have portalets… ;)
The Festival events are FREE - there will be no ticketed events or cover charges. Visitors to the Festival are urged to park, walk or bike around and visit multiple venues over the weekend - we've a lot of great music for you! Our shops, restaurants, and bars are wonderful here…all the bread you’d normally spend on tix? Spread the love…
