Festival knowledge: All that you need to know

By Jennifer Pearson Bonnett

If you have a computer, the easiest way to gather all the information you need for this year’s annual Grape Festival and Harvest Fair is to go on the Internet.

At www.grapefestival.com, fairgoers can get admission prices and festival hours, and learn more about what entertainment is available.

The festival, which runs from Sept. 18-21, is held each year at the Grape Festival fairgrounds, 413 E. Lockeford St.

It will be open from 4 to 11 p.m. Thursday, noon to midnight Friday and Saturday, and noon to 11 p.m. Sunday.

Children 5 and under can get in for free while youths ages 6 to 12, cost $4 each (except on Thursday, when admission is free for “Kids Day”). Adult admission is $7.

You can buy ahead and save money.

A book of five discount advance sale gate admissions, good for adult or child, cost $20.

Advance sale carnival books of 36 coupons are $15 and sold until 5 p.m. Sept. 17, or while supplies last.

Parking in the two festival lots cost $5 per vehicle.

If you decide not to drive, public transportation is also available through the city’s GrapeLine bus system. Route 5 will take you to the Grape Festival fairgrounds.

One-way fare is $2 per person. Disabled and senior riders are charged $1.
