There are (3) options to get individual tickets to our festivals: Early Bird Tix, General Admission Tix, or Hotel Packages. Scroll down this page to view all options & ticket sale release dates.  

Visit each festival's page for details on what is included with a ticket and more details on each fest. 
All festivals are 21 & Up. No infants. No pets. 

There are no additional fees added to our tickets during the check-out process.  Prices listed are what you will be actually charged. See Rules & Policies before purchasing tickets. 
NEW for 2026 at Bacon & Bourbon Fest - Due to the tremendous demand for Bourbon Tasting Tickets, we have expanded the bourbon tasting experience throughout the festival grounds allowing us to be able to offer more Bourbon Tasting Tickets than ever before. To make room for additional bourbon tasting stations, we  replaced the brew tasting booths with additional bourbon tasting locations which also allowed for expanded cocktail and non-alcoholic beverage offerings.While brew tastings are no longer included with admission, guests will still find plenty of brews plus many other both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.

OPTION #3:

BOOK A HOTEL ROOM & ADD IN TICKETS

We recommend calling hotels directly and making reservations for coming to our festivals. Add in one general admission tix per hotel guest. Request tickets when you make your reservation at Smithfield Station or the Smithfield Inn.  If staying at the Hampton Inn & Suites they give you a voucher to redeem at our Will Call Booth.  Please CALL us if staying at the Hampton Inn because their desk doesn't always understand how it works.

​ Check with hotel on how far in advance they accept reservations and their cancellation policies.
