This was my first time going to this festival and it was a nice environment for the most part (had a variety of different food tents and even a Francis Coppola wine tasting tent) but be prepared to blow some money. First off, parking for the event cost $20 (luckily we ubered it there). Next is the $10 cost of admission. Then once you're in, you'll have to buy tickets ($1=1 ticket) to purchase foods/drinks. A beer is 6 tickets,slice of pizza is 4, mixed drink is 7, funnel cake is 6. So as you can see, cost adds up quickly. But it is for charity, so that helps lessen the blow on my wallet. Some of the food tents (longhorn steakhouse and roka akor) were actually pretty good too. I'd skip any of the pizza tents because the slices were cold.
