Weather

Rain, hail or shine, the show must go on. We recommend bringing hats, sunscreen, small sun shelters, umbrellas, jackets and ponchos–dancing in the rain is fun when you are protected from the elements! We provide a limited number of umbrellas on a first come first served basis.

Food

Our artisans will be offering all the French food & drinks you could ever want. But you may bring your own food, especially if you have dietary restrictions but don't miss out on our delicious offerings on the day! And no drinks please, only an empty bottle to refill water.
