EVENT ACCESS is available either via train rides OR just walk-in yard access through the gate.

Color coded wrist bands will be distributed based on which return trip you purchase. ALL people in attendance will have a wristband which will designate that they have paid and signed a liability release waiver. These will need to be picked up in the tent for walk-ups and will be distributed on the train for passengers riding to the event.

Visitors will have TWO options:

  • Admission + Train Ride to the Event (once you purchase a ticket, you will receive a link to select your RETURN TRIP back to your place of origin)
  • Admission Only (with option to purchase a train ride to the canal from Hyannis to the canal and back)

Don’t miss the chance to join the fun!
