First Flush Festival today!!!!!!!

We can't wait! 
We actually had a misunderstanding this year bc in the past the festivals have always ended around 5-6pm. SO we planned on taking the kids this year. Avett Bros are the headliner - its gonna be fun times! But then we found out Avett don't even go on til 9pm. Thank goodness Nana said she could watch the kids. We're gonna have to miss the day part of the festival but its ok. We'll have a good time tonight...KID FREE ;)
Here is some info about today and a map:

Check out the event map to better know the festival grounds.   There’s a lot to see and do for people of all ages.  Enjoy one of our many musical acts, fill your belly with a variety of food truck specialties, or shop with our local artisans. 
  

Ticketing

We will have drive through ticketing. If you’ve already purchased your tickets simply have them ready and you’ll be good to go before you even leave your vehicle.  Make sure to print your tickets, download to mobile, or bring your hard tickets with you to the event.  IF tickets are still available day of show, they can be purchased at the main gate Box Office/Will Call tent. If you purchased your tickets from The Avett's Brothers Fan Club they will be waiting for you at will call. 


Tips

No re-entry. Stay and have fun.

We ask that attendees please carpool if possible due to the large number of people that attend First Flush and the limited number of parking spaces available. It will help speed up the entry and exit lanes to/ from the show. COMPASS Transportation is the official transportation partner of The First Flush Festival and will be offering a variety of shuttle options and chauffeured cars for groups large and small. Mention promo code “FIRSTFLUSH” to receive a special festival rate available only to ticket holders. For more information please visit ridecompass.com or call their office at 843-410-3244. We kindly ask that our guests do not drink and drive! Taxis will be available after the event and vehicles can be left at the Tea Plantation until Monday, May 26th at 5pm.

We went in 2008 (or 2009?) and 2010 (when I was super prego with Betty).
Here are some pics of years past:
We found a mini-horse!

Festival is named for the first flush of tea leaves that can be harvested on the plantation.
