Parking passes can be purchased in advance, on-line and we encourage advance purchase to streamline arrival. Please park at the Killington Skyeship Gondola and the shuttle will bring you to the spillway. (See above for address)
The shuttle will deliver you to (and pick you up from) the spillway at camp where our merch tent, ticket booth and pre-order pickup items will be located.
If you purchased a Friend of Fair Package or Pre-ordered shirts, meal tickets, or ride/concession tickets you will pick them up at the spillway upon arrival.
For Parents & Camper Families!
Overnight Campers will attend Fair. They will arrive via the Fair Parade with their camps at around 12:15 pm.
Campers can spend Fair with their families (from 1 pm - 4 pm). Parents/guardians will visit our designated camp area to sign out campers for the afternoon.
Campers are a very special part of Fair and will have responsibilities during Fair with their fellow campers.
After Fair, campers will return to their camps for final closing ceremonies, activities, and goodbyes. Sunday camper pick-up times will be shared with parents by F&W admissions in advance.
Barn Day Camp campers and their families are also very invited to join the fair!
