Additional Information:
The 4th Annual North Branch Bluegrass Festival will be held Thursday September 1, 2011 through Sunday September 4, 2011. Festival gates will open at 9 am.
Early Bird Camping and Field Picking begins after 10am on Sunday August 28th. Fee is $10 per person for 4 extra nights. You must also purchase a $50 weekend pass upon arrival. Total bill for the week is $60.
Remember to bring a firepit if you plan on having a campfire. No digging or rock fireplaces allowed. You must use an elavated firepit that will not damage or scorch the field. Please don't bring firewood from more than 50 miles away. This will reduce the risk of importing any invasive insect into Bridgewater's many acres of timberland. We have provided split firewood with a donation box that campers may share. Please be generous.
A dependable flashlight for all campers is a must. A "Shot in the dark" in a porta potty can make a mess nobody likes to discover.
If you are a person that requires hand santitizers kindly bring your own along with you.
Affordable food is available daily throughout the weekend at our new mobile kitchen. We serve Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers, Hot Dogs, Italian Sausages, Spaghetti, Chef Salads, Chicken Rolls, Tuna Rolls, Soft Tacos, Chowder, Chili, French Fries, Fried Dough, Popcorn, Chips, Cookies, Brownies, Brownie Sundaes, Root Beer Floats, Soda, Water, Coffee, and Tea as well as fresh Blueberry Muffins and Breakfast Sandwiches in the morning.
