This prime stretch links the (currently) closed entrance area near the brewery to the Central Circle of the festival.

​

Cost: $25

​

Pros: Relatively well traveled. If the gate can be opened in time for the festival (repair work is pending), it is the first set of artists visited by the majority of festival-goers. Well shaded and sheltered from the weather in most spots. Near enough to hear the stage, but it's probably not too loud. IF THE GATE is open, it's close to the brewery and its restaurant/patio and restrooms. If the gate isn't open, this is still a very good area that many visiters will peruse.

​

Cons: Farther away from load-in/out than the Central Circle; setup and breakdown can be more laborious. Farther from the food trucks. Farther from Porta Potties. There is uncertainty about whether the nearby gate will be open. 

Located right in the middle of the festival where traffic circulates the most. 

​

Cost $40

​

Pros: Usually has the most traffic. Closest proximity to other artists. Close to the stage and plein air painting. Relatively close to load in/out (though no space inside the Hollow is Really Close). Close to food trucks and Porta Potties. 

​

Cons: The spots closest to the stage can get loud. There are fewer trees and more exposure to the sun and weather. A few spots can get swampy if there's rain.

Near the Central Circle and the heart of the festival, but under trees!

​

Cost $25

​

Pros: Well shaded/sheltered. Near the heart of the festival. Near food trucks and Porta Potties. Relatively near the load in/out. Can still hear much of the stage music, but it's not too loud. Most visitors will find the Woodland Path artists.

​

Cons: It's a little removed from the center of the festival. Visitors need to follow the signs to continue down the path away from the Central Circle to find artists here.

The most affordable way to join the festival with plenty of shade.

​

Cost $15

​

Pros: Very affordable. Mostly well shaded/sheltered from weather. No assigned spot means earlier arrivals are still close to the Woodland Path. Many visitors who come down the Woodland Path will keep going until they run out of art to see.

​

Cons: Farther away from most of the festival. Lower traffic. General admission means your exact space isn't guaranteed (you can claim the first available space when you arrive.) Can mean a lot of walking!

Divided into two sections:

​

Drewry Accessibility Upper is ideal for people with wheelchair accessibility needs.  You will not have to brave the steep Drewry Tunnel, but will be near the Food Trucks and receive a lot of their additional foot traffic.

 

Cost $30

Drewry Accessibility Lower is ideal for people with limited mobility needs  It's just inside the Swede Hollow Park, after you enter through the Drewry Tunnel.  You'll be near the main stage and all the action.

 

Cost $35

 

Another ideal location for Artists that need wheel chair access or have limited mobility.  You'll be able to drive up to set up, and then park your vehicle close by.  This location is right off the main parking lot, and while it is not in the midst of Swede Hollow Park, you will get most of the patrons as they come and go from the event as well as additional 11 Wells and St. Paul Brewery guests. 

 

Cost starts at $30
