FAQ

Tickets

Admission is by donation. Suggested $15/adult, $5/teens. Kids under 12 are free. Family (2 Adults + up to 2 kids) is $30.

This is a not-for-profit event so tickets cover the cost to run Bowfest and make sure everyone has a ton of fun.

Tips

It’s a good idea to bring cash in case vendors don’t have tap to pay. Bring a picnic blanket to watch the band, and remember sunscreen! And please no dogs, smoking/ vaping, or outside alcohol.

Safe Ride Home

Enjoy the festivities and take a free ride home with many thanks to the Orchard Recovery Centre and Peter King for driving. Shuttle runs from 6pm and picks up in the Crippen parking lot.
