The event is FREE to all those who wish to come out and enjoy the day!
That said, Project Share will be manning the entrance to the event so if you can find it in your hearts to bring out non-perishable food items it will be much appreciated.
There is absolutely no smoking or vaping at the event. City bylaws forbid smoking on any of their properties and enforcement officers will be out. If you get caught smoking you could face stiff fines. Please smoke outside the area on public property if you choose to indulge.
All guests will enter at Gate A – which is located at the east side of the event area across from the main parking area. If you are planning to consume adult beverages, you must be over 19 and have a wristband or you will not be served. Wristbands will be available at Gate A as you enter the play area. For security reasons, there will be no backpacks or liquids allowed to be brought into the event. Re-usable water containers will be allowed and can be filled at water stations at the event or inside the Gale Center.
The Gale Center will be available for use. The center is air conditioned (if you want to cool off) inside and washrooms are available for use. There will be a limited number of port-a-potties outside for use as well.
You are advised to bring lawn chairs as there will be very limited seating at the event. Day of 1000 Musicians supports Project SHARE. They will be manning the front gate so if you can find it in your heart to bring some non-perishable food items or give them a small donation, Day of 1000 Musicians would be grateful.
There will be a limited number of Day of 1000 Musicians items for sale at the event. Look for them in our booth in vendors row.
We do have food trucks at the event. Right now, we are anticipating the following vendors:
Johnny Rocco’s
Cucina a GO GO
Henrys Ice Cream
