Once you have booked your travel arrangements please pre-register.

To best accomodate you we need to know you are coming at least two months in advance so please pre-register by February 28, 2008. We are purchasing very high quality organic foods wholesale and we will be placing our orders for dry goods in March. For those of you who do not pre-register we will have to go out and purchase more by retail. Therefore we are passing the savings we get from buying wholesale in advance on to those who pre-register on time. So please pre-register by April 28. All registration rates increase on March 1 by $43 to cover our additional costs.

Air Travel

Please book your air travel immediately to get good rates. This is a busy travel time in this area and rates will be going up very quickly and keep rising.

When to Arrive

The festival begins at 1:00 PM on Monday April 28, 2008. The latest safe airport arrival times to make the evening program are as follows: Gainesville (GNV) 3:30PM, Jacksonville (JAX) 2:00 PM, Orlando (MCO) 1:00PM. Most of the flights into Gainesville arrive late afternoon to late evening. So unless you can get one of the few morning arrivals you are probably better of arriving the night before the festival if you are flying into Gainesville. Jacksonville and Orlando have many more morning arrivals but depending on when you book and the rates available you may find the morning flights are not available or higher priced and you may find it better to arrive the day before, especially if you consider that planes are frequently later than they promise to be.

When to Depart

The festival is completed Sunday May 4 by 8:30 PM if you want to take a late night flight out. Otherwise you may leave the festival site anytime before 8:30 AM the day after the festival, Monday May 5, 2008 and take the earliest flight you can find.

Please compare air rates to Gainesville Florida (GNV), Jacksonville Florida (JAX) and Orlando Florida (MCO). These are the only airports we will provide transportation to and from. Any other airport and you will need to make your own arrangements. When comparing rates please consider your transportation time and costs are lowest from Gainesville and highest from Orlando.

If you are staying off-site you will need a rental car.

Airport Transportation (for those staying at the festival site).

Gainesville Airport Transportion. Gainesville is far closer than the other airports and we hope you choose to fly into Gainesville Aiport. We can provide transportation to or from Gainesville Airport for $10 per person. And we can pick up from Gainesville Airport as late as 3:30PM on the first day of the festival. If you will arrive any later than 3:30PM you may instead take any airport taxi for about $80 or rent a car.

Jacksonville Airport Transportation is the next best. It is about 90 miles from the festival site. We can pick you up or drop you off at Jacksonville Airport for $25 per person. We have to allow 2-1/2 hours to collect you and your baggage and get to the festival site. So we will pick you up from Jacksonville on a festival day no later than 2:00PM. Any later than that and you will need to make your own arrangements which most likely means renting a car.

Orlando Airport Transportation is the furthest away. It is 150 miles from the site. We can pick you up or drop you off in Orlando Airport for $40 per person. We have to allow 3-1/2 hours to collect you and your baggage and get to the festival site. So we will pick you up from Orlando on a festival day no later than 1:00PM.

You must pre-register for airport rides here. Airport rides are on a first come first serve basis due to limited cars and drivers. The rates for rides are one way, per person.

Please consider arriving early.Travel on the day of the festival may be stressful. We suggest you arrive at least a day before the festival and stay overnight at a local hotel or with a friend. Then you can casually show up at 1:00PM the day of the festial after a good nights rest. The festival schedule is very full and exciting and you will miss out on something if you choose to do recreational or social activities in the area during the festival. So we invite you to consider the benefits or arriving two or three days early so you may enjoy swimming in the local springs or any other recreational or social activity.
