CHECKING IN
There are TWO Check-In locations. See map above.
One is located on the street side of the Seven Acre building. The other is located off the parking lot, near the Inn entrance. Please be prepared to show your digital or physical ticket.

RE-ENTRY
If you leave the festival grounds and want to re-enter, please do so at one of the Check-In stations and be prepared to show your ticket.

PLEASE NOTE:
Parking is extremely limited in our tiny village. All parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. 

We recommend festival guests park at Lake Louie Brewing and Wisconsin Brewing Company located at 1079 American Way, Verona, WI. The Brewery is 3 miles north of Paoli and has plentiful parking. Our friends at Lake Louie will run a free, continuous shuttle between Lake Louie and Paoli between 10:30 and 3:30 on Saturday and Sunday. Door to door, the shuttle takes about 5 minutes.

If you’re in the Madison area, we also recommend taking Uber, Lyft, or a taxi to Paoli and back home again.

Note On Dietary Restrictions:
The Sugar River Fire and Smoke BBQ Festival is carnivore-centric and we have NOT asked our pitmasters or food vendors to make foods available that specifically address the dietary restrictions of our guests.

The Sugar River Fire and Smoke BBQ Festival is held in a large, natural outdoor setting. From one end of the festival grounds to the other is about ¼ of a mile.

EXPECT SOME UNEVEN TERRAIN.
The grounds and walking areas contain a variety of terrain, including mowed grass and flat event grounds connected by walking paths made up of crushed gravel or wood chips.

Terrain includes river bottom and hilltop, with the elevation change between the hilltop and river bottom being about 50 feet, which guests navigate by sloping paths and stairs.

The outdoor grounds may be WET due to rain, please choose appropriate footwear and clothing.

Seven Acre Dairy has a limited number of
disabled accessible and ADA accessible restrooms.

All ticket sales are final, but tickets are transferable.

If you have an urgent matter during the event please communicate with one of our staff members wearing A BRIGHT PINK “STAFF” SHIRT. Staff members will be able to route your request to the appropriate person on our team.

This is a brand new festival and we welcome your input, comments, and feedback on what you loved and what we can improve for next year!
