A. The Arts & Drafts Festival takes place rain or shine. Please see the Shelter-in-Place/Delay of Show Policy below for additional information. Shelter-in-Place/Delay of Show Policy The Festival operates under a two-tier delay plan: 1. Shelter-in-Place means that Festival goers, artists, performers, and vendors must evacuate the brewery grounds and seek immediate shelter inside the nearest indoor location. Under this evacuation scenario, all artists, musical performers, and vendors are required to cease activity until the Festival is cleared for reactivation. BCAG will issue a Shelter-in-Place if an emergency situation, including, but not limited to, severe inclement weather, arises during the Festival. No outdoor activities will resume until the Shelter-in-Place is lifted. 2. Delay of Show is an interruption in outdoor programming due to less severe circumstances. Participants are encouraged to seek shelter at the nearest indoor or covered location. Some festival programing may be delayed or interrupted out of concerns for safety and property damage.

A. There is no ATM available onsite and Guinness Open Gate Brewery is now a cashless facility.

A. Other than service dogs, pets are not allowed at the Festival. Please leave your pets at home.
