There is a swimmable creek that runs along the festival grounds. Most years the creek is quite calm, offering deep pools which are perfect for cooling off on a hot day. Sometimes there is a weak current depending on how much rain we’ve had in previous months. The depth may change rapidly and children need constant supervision. PLEASE NOTE: Any body of water is potentially dangerous for young children or anyone who does not know how to swim! There is no lifeguard. Kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at the creek.

There is a “Clothing Required” area and a “Clothing Optional” area. If this matters to you, make sure to bring yourself and your kids to the correct area.
