What it costs once you're inside
Rides, food and games are pay-as-you-go. The Swampfest ticket page currently says pre-sale ride tickets are closed, but that ride wristbands and individual ride tickets will be sold at the event all weekend — so a last-minute decision to go doesn't shut anyone out. Anyone who already bought a pre-sale wristband can pick it up at the will call booth with a valid ID or receipt.
Beyond the midway, the four-day run advertises live entertainment, food trucks and the Kim Fish Beer Garden, which serves draft beer and wine.
Before then: a free festival at the same park
