FAQ
Can I bring my own food and drink?
Sealed water and an empty reusable bottle, yes. Everything else is inside — food trucks and the marketplace have you covered.
Is it all ages?
Yes — this is a family celebration. Kids 12 & under are free with a ticketed adult.
What about the Florida weather?
We’re on the waterfront rain or shine — bring sunscreen and a hat, and there’s shade throughout the park.
