Classes are admitted with individual wristbands. Adult and Student wristbands are different colors. Wristbands are mailed upon receipt of full payment but additional admissions may be purchased at the ticket window upon arrival. We suggest that you write your school name and contact phone number on each wristband, to help identify students that get separated from their groups.

The earlier, the better. Gates open at 9AM and you'll want to arrive early to be able to experience all of the attractions and entertainment available at Student Days.

What happens when we arrive?

Festival staff will meet your group at your bus or other vehicle in the parking lanes and provide complimentary programs listing performance times, craft demonstrations, and menu items. You will be directed to proceed to the front gates as a group. All of your students must be wearing their wristbands to be admitted.
