TICKETS — PAY WHAT YOU CAN
Tickets are required for this event, but please pay what you can to attend this event. Our suggested ticket price is $25 (or $20 if you are a FONA member). Children 12 and under are free, but tickets are required. The ticket revenue helps cover what we pay the band, Arboretum security and facilities, and the cost of our staff to organize these events.
However, if paying $25 would prohibit you from attending this event, please pay what you can. We want to provide a quality event that facilitates a connection to the National Arboretum, but also believe everyone should have access to this event regardless of means.
If you pay more than the suggested ticket price, the difference will go towards covering the cost of those in our community who can’t.
FOOD & DRINK
Taco Dirty to Me will have food and drinks for sale. Attendees are also welcome to bring their own picnics.
