FAQ:
“Can I bring my dog?”
While we at the Willystock team love dogs, pets are not allowed at the festival. In our experience, this is for the safety and comfort of everyone, including our four-legged friends.
(Service animals in compliance with ADA regulations are allowed. Impersonating a service animal will result in removal from festival grounds.)
“I don’t want to camp, is there anywhere nearby to stay?”
The closest non-festival lodging option is to rent primitive-style cabins from our neighbors at Marengo Caves. Marengo, Indiana is a rural area with limited Airbnb rentals in the surrounding areas. The nearest standard hotel options can be found in the city of Corydon, Indiana, which is roughly a 27-minute drive to the festival.
“Can I bring my RV?”
At this time, we cannot guarantee RV camping for 2026. Our vision is to have limited RV camping passes available for purchase, but planning and preparation for this is still in its early stages. Please stay tuned for updates as we try to make this happen. As it currently stands, the main festival grounds are not RV compatible due to the incline and rough terrain. Oversized vehicles may be turned away at the gate.
“Can I bring my children?”
Yes! Willystock is an all-ages event, with free admission for children 13 and under. There will be sober/family camping options available, as well as family-friendly workshops and entertainment throughout the day. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times and are the responsibility of their guardians.
“Can I leave and re-enter the festival grounds?”
Short-answer, yes. The gate is open from 10 AM to 10 PM. During this time, guests may leave and re-enter. All passengers in the returning vehicle must display wristbands at the gate upon re-entry. Long-answer: Between the hours of 10 PM and 10 AM, gates will be locked. If a guest wishes to leave at this time, a senior staff member must be contacted to unlock the gate. There is no re-entry after 10 PM until the gate opens the following morning.
“Is alcohol allowed?”
Willystock is BYOB for guests 21+. We ask that you avoid bringing glass containers if possible. There are no alcohol/liquor sales or vendors on festival grounds. The consumption of alcohol by minors or in sober camping areas is prohibited.
Are there electrical outlets and/or hookups?
No, there is no available electricity access option available for the general public. Please also note that cell phone service may be weak/limited on festival property, depending on your provider.
“Will there be water available?”
There is currently no running drinking water source available on the property to fully meet the needs of the general public. Gnome Gardens provides a stock of bottled drinking water and a bottle refill station. We highly encourage festival goers to bring in their own drinking water source/supply for ease of access! (Pro Packing Tip: 1gal per day, per person)
“How can I/my band play at WillyStock in the future?”
Willystock prides itself in handpicking artists that our founders truly believe in. As we continue to grow and expand yearly, we look forward to having the capacity to bring in fresh acts that align with our vision! For now, we encourage interested bands to come check out the festival or related events, get to know the community, and sit in on a campfire jam!
“Is this a rain or shine event?”
Yes! We plan to jam rain or shine! Gnome Gardens does have a sheltered area to dance under in the event of rain. Guests are also allowed to bring their own canopies/covers to comfortably set up their camp. No refunds will be issued due to weather.
