When is Fox Fest? Officially Saturday August 3rd from noon to midnight, but a lot of people show up Friday and leave Sunday, which is totally cool. We'd rather you stay the night than drive home after you've had a few

Is there somewhere to stay? As always Fox Fest provides FREE camping on site, so whether you RV, Pop-Up, tent, or pass out under the stars, we'll have a spot for you. Sites are first come, first serve. Many people bring their RVs starting the Thursday before the show, but there is plenty of room for everyone so don't worry about not getting  a place to stay

Is it pet friendly? Short answer: NO. We love our pets but due to the large amount of people we do not allow pets as they may become confused or frightened by the large crowds and loud noise

What about parking? There is a large field next to the event that is for car parking. All cars, trucks, etc should use this parking. No car parking is allowed in the camping area for safety reasons unless it is attached to a camper. We appreciate your cooperation in this area

What if I didn't buy a shirt, can I still go? Absolutely, you can pay $30 at the gate for a wristband, you just won't get a t-shirt. If you want a shirt or a hoodie tho, good news... they will be available in all sizes at the merch tables along with Fox Fest 2024 coozies and other items

Security is provided by the Onondaga County Sherrifs Department. Don't worry, they won't spoil your good time, they are there to make SURE you have a good time.
