Thinking about bringing your pet to the festival?
Service animals are always welcome.
For non-service animals, we strongly discourage bringing your pet to the festival. Busy crowds, loud music, and food scraps can make for a not-so-ideal situation for the family pet. But if you must, we welcome well-behaved leashed pets. As well as well-behaved owners who pick up any mess their pet may create. In other words, please be considerate of your pet as well as other festival goers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Per our partners, pets are not permitted on the parking shuttles or the Manatee Boat Tours. Please take this into consideration when determining whether to bring your pets.
