5. Can I bring my dog?
Yes, with stipulations, the festival takes place in a public park where dogs are allowed. But we ask that you pick up after your pet and use common sense as to whether bringing your dog would be appropriate, and if your dog would be comfortable. This is a very large festival with thousands of people and is typically a very hot day so bringing pets is actually discouraged because of this along with the risk factor of a pet eating a discarded chicken wing bone. All dogs must be on a leash at all times.
