✷ Can I bring my dog? Salt Fest is dog friendly, but please note in past years it has been hot! Additionally, a leash is required, and you will not be able to participate in our tour of the salt farm as it is a food processing facility.
✷ Are you wheelchair accessible? Our shop and the general event area is wheelchair accessible. However, please note our tours are not wheelchair accessible.
✷ Is this event kid friendly? Yes, children are welcome and there will be a kids' zone!
✷ What if the weather is bad? Salt Fest is rain or shine!
✷ How do I become a vendor? Please reach out to [email protected] or give us a call at 304-925-7918. Do not talk to anyone on Facebook regarding becoming a vendor, unless you are interacting directly with THIS account.
