  • Quiet time will be from 10 PM to 6 AM, regardless of location- this includes ALL generators in ALL areas. No loud generators or music will be allowed during these hours.
    • While we ask that quiet hours be respected, generators or loud music during the day can create sufficient noise to affect the enjoyment of others. If SkyFest security receives a noise complaint regardless the source, we will respond. If the noise level is determined to be excessive, the party involved will be given several choices:
      • · Turn off the generator, if that is the source of the noise, or turn down the volume on other sources of loud noise, or
      • · We will be happy to move you to a more isolated, less convenient campsite where the noise is not a nuisance to other campers, or
      • · Persons that choose to ignore SkyFest rules may be asked to leave. The rules are to promote the safety and enjoyment of all guests.
  • Pilots are highly advised to not bring pets, as propellers and pets do not mix when so many aircraft are parking and moving together
  • Food will be available on site on Saturday. Snacks will be available Friday night in the movie area. Other times food might not be available on site. Please plan accordingly.
  • General courtesy cars are not available, however some shuttles to specific places might be offered by vendors at the time of the event.
