What about security? Is the festival safe for a family?
Security is always a priority at every event. As they do with every festival at Wiggins
Park, Camden County officials provide a full staff of trained security and
traffic officials, and visitor service representatives are stationed along
the Waterfront. Both the Red Cross and EMS are present throughout the festival
to attend to any medical needs. And police and fire officials are also present,
and are an integral part of the overall safety and security procedures.

What's the 4-Day Festival Pass?
It's by far the best value we ever offered. With
the 4-Day Festival Pass, a single ticket gets you access to every day of
the festival (including Thursday night) for one low price. You must
present the ticket each day you attend (there are four stubs on each pass).
You'll also need to obtain a new reentry wristband each day you attend.

Will I need separate tickets to get into the Camden Children's Garden?
Your tickets for Saturday and Sunday include access to the Camden Children's Garden where Kids Corner is taking over for the weekend! All you'll need is to show your festival reentry wristband to be admitted to the Camden Children's Garden.
