Parking

Where do I park?
First preferred are the two large lots on the south side of the Canal across from the Music Festival, but free parking is available at many public parking lots throughout the Village of Fairport as well.  Signs will be posted showing those areas.
Tickets/Wristbands

I have purchased a wristband in advance for a $10 donation to the Children’s Hospital at Strong. Do I need another ticket to gain entrance to the festival?
No. FMFF wristbands will be your entrance identification and should be worn the entire time. Beer and Wine areas will require other ID as per local and state laws. Tickets can be purchased in advance at many Fairport locations.

If I order tickets online, will they be mailed to me?
No, your tickets will NOT be mailed. Tickets ordered online will be made available to purchaser on event day at our WILL CALL window. WILL CALL is located at the main information tent at the main entrance way at the west end of Liftbridge Lane (intersection of Liftbridge Lane and Main St.). Please bring a picture ID for verification.
 
 
Rain Date

Will there be a “rain date” in case of inclement weather?
No. Each band stage will be covered, and each stage area will have covered tents to protect from rain. The show will go on with the fun of any rain added. Hey, it rained at Woodstock didn’t it?
