Fashion tip: function is always in style.

No shirt, no shoes, no service. Bathing suits are not acceptable.

Little artists welcome—just watch those wheels.

This is a family-friendly art festival; however, strollers can be tricky on the sawdust paths and sloped terrain. We recommend a baby carrier or light-weight, all-terrain wheels. We do not have stroller parking, and strollers should not be abandoned.

No pets are allowed at the Sawdust Art Festival or the Sawdust Art Festival grounds.

• Service animals are permitted. All service animals must meet the Federal ADA guidelines. According to the ADA, only dogs can be designated as service animals. Emotional support animals Do Not enjoy the same rights. They are not allowed into the festival. All other animals and pets are prohibited.
• Service animals MUST remain on a leash or harness and under the control of the owner at all times. The ADA does not require that all animals be accommodated at all times. The ADA guidelines stipulate that the dog must be leashed or under strict verbal command at all times. Even if the dog is a service animal, we are not obliged to accommodate the animal if these guidelines are not met.
• We ask you do not leave animals on the sidewalks and surrounding areas of the park perimeter. In such cases, the appropriate authorities will be notified. All ADA service dogs must be in compliance with ADA.
• All guests attending with a Service Animal will need to have your Service Dog Approved by a Supervisor before entry. Please plan your time accordingly.
• Please do not request to bring your service dog who is currently “in training”. With the best of intentions, a service dog in training is just that, in training. You risk harmful advancement and potential anxiety development having a dog in a very dusty and busy environment competing with thousands of feet moving right next to them. Please wait until they are fully vetted to provide the service which will help you.

For the safety and comfort of our guests and artists, smoking of any kind (including e-cigarettes) is not permitted anywhere on the grounds.
