- Gate Times & Seating: Gates open at 2:00 PM, and the music starts at 3:00 PM! To make room for all the fun, no cars are allowed in the theater area—just people. Be sure to bring your own lawn chairs or blankets to set up your perfect viewing spot.
- Payment: Cards are accepted at the ticket booth, snack bar, and beer truck!
- Rain or Shine: Squatchfest is a rain or shine event, so come prepared for a great day regardless of the weather.
- Kid & Family Friendly: Bring the whole crew!
- 5 years old and under: FREE
- 6 to 12 years old: $10.00
- 13 and older: Adult admission
- Parking & Accessibility: Handicap parking is located right by the gate and is well-marked. If you need assistance getting into the theater area, just ask a parking attendant and they will happily give you a ride on our golf cart. Because parking gets further away as the day wears on, we also have a convenient shuttle bus to ferry you right to the entrance.
- Food & Beverages: No outside food or beverages are permitted due to our agreement with Straub Beer. We implore you to heed this rule so we can continue to have them as a part of our festival—please don’t be the one to ruin it for everyone else! Straub will have a wonderful selection of regular beer, shandies, splashes, and sangria available for purchase.
- Support the Drive-In: This entire event is built around keeping our historic drive-in alive, which is why we want you to purchase your food from our snack bar! We have an expansive, budget-friendly menu—including freshly prepared sausage sandwiches—so you definitely won’t go hungry.
- Reentry Policy: We do allow reentry in case you need to grab a jacket from your car when it cools down in the evening. However, tailgating or drinking at your car is strictly prohibited. Straub is very strict with this policy.
Free Games & Activities: Once you are through the gate, all games and activities are 100% - FREE! This includes the mechanical bull, bounce house, mini-golf, 39-foot climbing wall, axe throwing, and more. You only need to pay for your food and beer!
- Special Highlights: Keep your eyes on the sky for a special appearance by our Skydivers, and be sure to gather round at 8:00 PM for our Salute to Service Members!
- Pop-Up Tents: Pop-up tents are welcome, but we kindly ask that you set them up on the apex of the theater humps and raise them as high as they go so the folks behind you can see the stage. Once the sun goes down, please take them down completely so everyone has a clear view of the live action on our massive 60-foot screen!
- Pet Friendly: We love furry friends! Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly with people and other dogs, and remain on a leash at all times.
- Epic Giveaway: We will be giving away a beautiful chainsaw-carved Eagle and American flag atop the Liberty Bell! The winner will be drawn directly from those who have purchased PRESALE tickets.
- We Are Here to Help: Feel free to ask anyone wearing a staff shirt for anything that will make your stay with us more enjoyable. Please be patient with our snack bar employees—they put in a long day and work hard to serve you freshly made food as fast as possible!
- Most importantly, have fun! It’s a fantastic event with amazing talent, and your support truly helps us keep the drive-in alive.
