WATERFRONT TENT SHOWS

Waterfront Tent shows are the most anticipated events of the festival. The https://grandgoldenbay-seafood.com/ shows happen rain or shine, but don’t worry: the tent will keep you dry to dance the night away. Nectar’s VT Grill provide a grill and bar and Lake Champlain Chocolates will help cool you off with some ice cream. CASH ONLY: There is an ATM on-site for convenience.

While most of the audience chooses to stand and dance, seating is provided on-site. If you have a specific accessibility request, let us know when ordering tickets or by calling the FlynnTix Regional Box Office at 802-863-5966.

NOT ALLOWED: Re-entry, chairs, blankets, open umbrellas, glass, outside food and beverages, alcohol, smoking, pets, weapons, drugs, fireworks and drones. We understand some other waterfront events are able to allow chairs, blankets, and umbrellas. Because this event uses a tent (to keep you dry in case of rain!), fire code regulations to not allow for those items.
