HOW TO JOIN US
You never need a ticket or a reservation to attend one of our concerts - just show up. If we had a gate, it would open at 6pm. Feel free to show up earlier than that, even, if you just want to enjoy the weather, have a picnic, or just hang out (though we may ask you to help set up!). The show will start at 7pm.
Doodad Farm never charges for entry to concerts, though we do request that those who are able (and you know who you are) donate at the stage area. Every penny of donations goes straight to the performers. We think $15-$20 per person is a reasonable donation for this show. As always, we ask that you surprise yourself with your own generosity to support our performers.
Other details:
• Kids, dogs, and all your friends are always welcome. Doodad Farm is a safe place for everyone.
• Please bring CASH for your donation to the performers and for merch purchases.
• This is an outside, farm like setting (thus the name). Dress like you’re going camping and you’ll be fine.
• We never allow weapons of any sort at the farm. If you think you need to protect yourself, you’re in the wrong place.
• Bring your own beverages, and consume them responsibly. Of course snacks and picnics are welcome.
• If you’re a sitter, bring a chair. We have some extras if you forget.
• Smoking is permitted as long as you don’t bother anyone or do any butt-dropping.
• Please clean up after yourself and treat the Farm as if it’s your own (in a way, it is!).
