It's almost time! Tonight at 5pm, the 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 π–π„π„πŠπ„ππƒ πŽπ… 𝐓𝐇𝐄 π˜π„π€π‘ 𝐈𝐍 πƒπŽπ–ππ“πŽπ–π 𝐁𝐆 begins!

Pro-tip: parking downtown is NUTS this weekend. Save the hassle (and the possible ticket if you park in a private lot by accident) by using the festival's very convenient shuttle. Details below.

Shuttle Hours: Friday 4 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.; Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 am; Sunday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; runs every half hour

Shuttle Price: $4 per ride per person (ride with friends, have the driver drop several of you off and then split the fee! Works great and saves $!) The drop off location at the festival is perfect, right in front of the police station. Easy peasy!

Shuttle Stops:

β€’ Wood County Fairgrounds, corner of Haskins Rd. (St. Rt. 64) and Poe Rd.-- use entrance off Poe Rd.

β€’ Meijer Parking Lot, 2111 E. Wooster St., East of I-75 (south end of lot)

See you at the SWAMP!
