Bus shuttles are included with your general admission ticket.
We have 13 shuttles in total that will be available every hour for the entire day starting at 10:30AM! We can’t give exact times due to unpredictable loading/unloading times, so plan to catch a shuttle well in advance if you’re trying to make it to the farm for a certain time.
Buses will be leaving from 4 different pick-up/drop-off locations:
The Memorial Centre
303 York St, Kingston, ON. K7K4m4
Red House WEST

Waterfront River Pub
22 Water ST West, Napanee, ON. K7R1V4

You can print your ticket or display it on your mobile device at the gate. If there are tickets still available, they will be sold at the gate. However, over the last 4 years, tickets have sold out well in advance. Please check back frequently as we will be posting updates on ticket sales.
Follow our Facebook event page for the most up-to-date information possible. You can also follow the brewery’s Instagram story if that’s more your vibe.
We will not be providing brewery tours on this date.
This is an all-ages event and children under 12 are free. We’ll have tons of games on site for both kids and adults to enjoy.
Unfortunately, your pets will have to sit this one out. The festival is typically very hot and quite busy; even the brewery dogs will be sitting this one out.
Cash is certainly preferred, but there will be debit and credit available at some token stations and vendors. As well, cash tips for our hard-working staff are always encouraged!
No outside alcohol is permitted at the festival. Don’t worry – we’ll have tons of booze. There will also be a water truck on site, so be sure to bring a reusable water bottle (no glass, please and thanks). Anything else is fine, as long as it’s sealed upon arrival. We will have an abundance of cocktails, cider and wine available from our good friends in Prince Edward County. Some of our food vendors will have soda, kombucha and other fun drinks available as well! If you have attended B2TF before and have an old mug, we definitely encourage you to bring it. In fact, those who do so will receive 1 drink token on us!
We mentioned cash, right? And a water bottle that isn’t made of glass? Otherwise, check the weather and please plan accordingly! This event is rain or shine, so consider bringing tons of sunscreen and maybe a picnic blanket. It’s up to you, but we also recommend bringing a solid group of friends and your best party outfits.
We already told you how we feel about outside alcohol, pets and glassware. We also do not permit bad attitudes, weapons of any kind, uncomfortable shoes, or bad drunks. Bicycles, skateboards or any type of impractical transportation is not allowed on festival grounds.
Any reasonably sized bag that doesn’t contain anything stupid is more than welcome at the festival. We will be doing bag checks at the front gate.
This event runs rain or shine, so plan accordingly and come ready to party.
Parking is free, it’s plentiful and it’s right on site! You can park overnight if needed, though we prefer that you plan ahead and take a shuttle bus or bring a designated driver. We do ask that you park in our enormous field rather than the side of the road. Mackinnon Brothers Brewing Co. is not responsible for any theft or damage to vehicles, so please keep valuables out of sight.
Is there any camping available? We do not host any overnight guests – sorry!
As long as you have your festival bracelet, re-entry will not be an issue.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
