2022 - WNF Activities
Here is the temporary site/activities plan for this years event subject to changes (as/if) required. As we get closer and areas are actually implemented we will adjust for gotchas if found. This site map only shows parking in the aerial view photo. Additional areas are available and will be marked as such on the day of the festival.
The areas are laid out so that activities not as affected by the road noise from Rt 94 are closer to it while activities where less noise &/or distractions are further away. If the funeral home next door isn’t being used you may use their park lot as well
