I’ve never been to Ox-Bow’s campus, what can I expect?
Ox-Bow’s campus is magical and you will feel that magic as soon as you hit the meadow! But, there are a few things to be aware of. Our campus is located in a remote, forested setting. It features mildly uneven terrain and wide gravel footpaths. This location and the variety of buildings on site, some of which are historic and rustic, pose some challenges to access. The main seating area of the concert is on our grassy meadow. Wheelchair accessible bathrooms will be available.
Registered service animals are allowed on campus with proper documentation.
On behalf of Ox-Bow, we kindly ask that you respect our historic campus with your words and actions. Listen to the artists, be mindful of your fellow audience members, and please have fun!
Absolutely no firearms, knives, weapons, or fireworks of any kind are allowed on Ox-Bow’s campus. All bags will be subject to search by our staff or volunteers.
Stay hydrated and cool! Water stations and designated cooling areas will be available in case we are experiencing a hot day in July!
Medic services will be on site for any medical needs that guests may require.
