Gates open at 1:00 pm both days for the Bud Break Festival. Kids can enjoy bounce houses, slides, and other fun games and activities while adults enjoy food and drinks, including our award winning Wind Vineyards wines, sangria, and slushies! The amazingly fun Grape Crusher MONSTER RIDE TRUCK will take daring folks for a thrilling ride and give them a taste of what it is like to be on board a real monster truck! (additional fee required for ride truck) The Wind Farms Gem Mine will also be open where folks can purchase a bag of mining sluice and sift through to find guaranteed treasured stones.

At 3pm, get up close and personal like no other show you can find at our FREE Pit Party! Check out these beastly machines and allow your kids to touch the monster trucks, get autographs from the drivers and take photographs. At 4pm the track will clear and engines fire as the real show begins. The monster trucks will start and soar through the air as they crush cars, show off skills, take on jumps, and perhaps daringly leap a full-size school bus.

Tailgating spots are reserved trackside spots for one vehicle and allow participants to bring their own food. Everyone tailgating must also have a general admission ticket. 

For the safety of all participants, no pets are allowed on the premises. No outside food or drink will be permitted. Cash only at the gate for tickets. Some vendors and activities are also cash only. All events and activities are subject to change.

ALL FANS MUST REMAIN BEHIND THE BARRICADES DURING THE MONSTER TRUCK EVENT, with the exception of the Pit Party and when action stops for the Power Wheels competitions!

Bleacher seating is limited so feel free to bring your own chairs, blankets, and other seats.

Umbrellas and tents are allowed in CERTAIN areas that will be set back from the barricade in order not to obstruct the view of other fans.
