Camping Rules

No Refunds

We do not issue refunds for lost or stolen tickets and camping. Tickets and camping are sold on a "rain or shine" basis, and no refunds will be given for delays or cancellations due to bad weather. In the event of inclement weather the show will be interrupted, and resume again as soon as weather permits.

Smoking Law

The Minnesota smoking ban applies to all enclosed buildings and tents, including buildings like the Moondance Saloon (with or without the garage doors open) and in the VIP tent. The "theater" loophole does not apply - even if you are already in costume.

The Lazy Moon screened in deck will be the only place connected to a building where it will be allowed. Even in those areas where smoking is allowed, please be respectful to the people around you and discard your cigarette butts in the appropriate places, not on the ground.
