School, tour & large group organizers, we are excited to welcome your groups back to Waterford this year!  Shop, play and tour 1, 2 or 3 days! Click the START APPLICATION button to reserve your spot!

 

Due to the size of the event, we do require date/time reservations for your group's arrival. A docent will meet your group, delivering Fair tickets and event schedules, and will give a brief "welcome" talk before turning the group loose to enjoy the day. If you group is driving in seperate vehicles, we recommend you pick a rendezvous point and we will send your tickets to you ahead of time so you don't need to worry about who parked where. Reserved designated parking is available for pre-paid groups,  no matter your preferred mode of transport (e.g., van, bus, bicycles or motorcycles)!
