If you want to help everyone have a great time at the Festival at Sandpoint this year, keep in mind a few changes to line and traffic flow policy.

First, traffic flow on Ontario Street will be one-way between Boyer and Marion on Festival days. This will permit two lanes of one-way traffic for easy drop-off on either side of the street. Second, only residents with permits are allowed to access Florence between Ontario and Erie.

Finally, if you’re utilizing the number system for early entry into the Festival, lines will now form on the venue lakeside to avoid blocking the Ontario sidewalk. Remember, camping for the lowest entry numbers is prohibited. Start lining up at around 6 a.m. to ensure you are among the first to be admitted when the Festival gates open.
