Frequently Asked Questions

DruidFest unfolds across three connected spaces: check-in begins at Modern Druid at 60 S Broadway in Nyack, continues through the Commons at Memorial Park a short block from the store, and culminates  at Nyack Beach State Park. Attendees will hop a provided coach for a short bus ride to the park (there is little parking there). 

Attendees must pre-purchase tickets. All guests begin at Modern Druid to check in, receive a wristband, and collect a field guide before making their way to the Commons and onward to the Park.

Shuttle buses will run continuously between the Commons and Nyack Beach State Park throughout the day. The ride is approximately 8 minutes and buses will run back and forth from Memorial Park to Nyack Beach State Park all day (approx every 1/2 hour). There will also be a smaller shuttle bus to take attendees back and forth from the Plateau to the Boathouse, running all day. 

Only if you are dropping off, because parking is very limited. We recommend starting at Modern Druid and using the provided shuttle system for ease and flow.
