Helpful Tips:

Those who make purchases, remember to get a receipt. Be sure to pick up a business card also just in case you may want to contact them later. If you see an item you’re just not sure whether you want to purchase it, get the vendors business card and write the item on the back. Put it in your bill-fold for safe keeping. After the festival, the office is flooded with calls from festival goers wanting information on certain vendors. Trying to find them is quit tedious and next to impossible without the vendor’s name.

Upon arrival, pick up an event guide. This has a map inside that will help you navigate through all the booths. Pick a spot to meet family or friends if you plan to split up. If you have children with you, the festival offers lost child bracelets. Just write number of the cell phone you have with you on the back. Please consider taking a picture of your children in case the unfortunate happens and you lose sight of your child. With a picture you can provide the police and/or Blueberry Official a way to identify your child easier. Instruct your child to look for Blueberry Officials wearing Blue Vests or a Policeman if they get separated from you. These officials will remove the bracelet, call the number and reunite the child with their parent.

If you plan on attending the fireworks, allow extra time for the trip home. Patience is the key. Our security teams do a fantastic job directing traffic after the show. Just use your best manners and be courteous to the other drivers. We want everyone to make it home safely.
