The festival runs from Wednesday evening to Sunday afternoon. There are a variety of paid and free, 18+ and all ages, events taking place throughout the weekend in close proximity to each other so that festival-goers can travel between the shows. . Shows on the same evening are staggered and are distinct in sound and delivery so that you can have many different experiences all in one Big Fun weekend.
