Gates open at 9:00am. First performance will be at 9:30am. The rides at the park will run from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM. The park will be closed to the public on festival days.

Additionally, make sure to ask what time you can leave school in the morning and when your transportation must be back at your school in the afternoon. Do NOT sign up for times that you will not be able to attend due to district bus transportation issues and regulations.
