It's time for BaileyFest 2025! Since it's Labor Day weekend, we got the land for the festival and camping for THREE nights!  Friday/Saturday/Sunday nights, 8/29-8/31.  Please register asap.  We are under a strict participant number cap and fully expect the event to sell out this year.  $40 gets you 3 nights of camping including toilets, shuttle on Sat and live music + DJ on Saturday night.

This is a land-based event. All paddling will be outside of the event & at your own risk.

There will be a food truck on site Saturday for the purchase of tasty treats.  Breakfast burritos in the morning and a full menu for lunch and dinner throughout the day.  We do have a vendor minimum of 65 orders, so please plan to enjoy this treat of convenience!
