First of all, welcome to the Folks Fest! You and your kiddos will love it!
Here's a few things that come to mind:
1. You can bring your own tubes. Just pick some up at Walmart. You can get them in town, but it's just as much to rent them (the big rubber kind) as it is to buy them (any kind you want).
2. Chairs - You'll want low back chairs if you want to be closer to the stage. There are sections on the side and back for high back chairs.
3. Read the tarp run section:
https://bluegrass.com/folks/festival-info/general-info. The shady spots will be snatched up quickly, for good reason. Many of us bring our own shade, a canopy or at least umbrella. Those are also only allowed on the side or in the back.
4. You can bring in unopened drinks, but no booze. I'm pretty sure we've brought food in for our littles, but I can't remember the rules on that one.
5. What else... water shoes. The river runs throughout the festival. it's a fabulous place to cool off, but it's you know, a river. Foot protection is nice.
6. There is plenty of food, drinks, ice cream, shopping,.. in the festival. You'll need cash for those, but here are ATMs in the festival.
That's all I can think of for now. I'll check back and see if you have any questions.
