1.   What is included in my Festival Ticket?

Your Festival ticket includes parking, the park admission fee, and access to all of the entertainment and activities throughout the Festival grounds.

2.   Can I buy my ticket(s) online? At the Gate?

Yes, you can purchase tickets in advance online from the SASSF home page.  Please remember to bring a print-out of your ticket receipt, or have it accessible on your phone
Tickets are available at the Front Gate on the day of the Festival, however adult tickets at the Gate are $20 – so buy in advance and save $5 per ticket.   Children’s tickets for ages 6-14 are $5, whether purchased online or at the Gate.   Children under six enter free.

3.   Where can I park?  Is there a parking fee?

There is parking in an open lot just across from the Festival/ Heritage Park entrance.    Parking is free.

4.   Do you have handicap parking?

Yes, we have handicap parking within the Park.   See the Festival Map for locations.   Please be cautious when driving into the Park, as Festival attendees may be crossing the perimeter roadway.

5.   Can I bring my dog?  

We regret that we cannot allow dogs in the Park during the Festival.  One of our most popular entertainments are the sheepdog herding demonstrations by Craigmalloch Farms.   We cannot allow other dogs in the Park, as they may distract or disturb the working border collies.  Service dogs who have been trained to perform a task directly related to a person’s disability are welcome. Emotional support, therapy, comfort, and companion animals do not qualify as service animals (per ADA) and are not permitted.

6.   Where is the Information Canopy?

Please see the Festival Map for the exact location. 

7.   Where is the Pipe & Drum Competition Registration/Check-in?

The Pipe & Drum Competition Registration/Check-in is located on the round-about circle, facing towards the main Festival Grounds.   Please see the Festival Map for the exact location. 

8.   Where are the toilets and baby-changing stations?
The Park has two permanent restrooms with baby-changing stations located along the entrance round-about, just past the Front Gate; the second restroom near the Main Stage.   There are portable toilets stationed near both Beer Trucks and along the walkway by the food vendors.

ATMs are located along the walkway by the food vendors.

10.   Where is a First Aid Station?

The First Aid Stations is located next to the Heavy Athletics area.
