Qualified and bona fide service animals are welcome at the Strawberry Music Festival. Pets and emotional support animals are not granted admittance.
Recently our festival has experienced an increased attendance of non-service animal pets, who have accompanied their owners in violation of California and federal law. It is a crime to misrepresent a pet as a service animal. As a result, we have been forced to develop a service animal policy and procedure. The policy and procedure will be strictly enforced and implemented in the interest of ensuring that bona fide service animals are permitted and all other animals are prohibited from the Strawberry Music Festival.
All service animals must be trained for a specific function, related to a disability, housebroken, leashed, and under the direct control of their handler at all times. By law, if an animal’s purpose or task is to provide protection, emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship, it is not considered a service animal and may not attend the festival with you. Those who bring any animal other than a service animal will not be allowed admittance.
Service animals will be banded at the gate by a member of our Safety & Security staff. After the service animal has been credentialed, it is not likely that you will be approached again, unless the animal causes a problem.
Persons who are found on-site with a non-service animal will be escorted off of the festival grounds and may return without the animal. Strawberry Music reserves the right to refuse service to any individual whose conduct poses a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or service animals.
We are looking forward to seeing many of you in person at Strawberry’s 40th Anniversary celebration this year. The Spring 2022 Strawberry Music Festival will be held May 25th – 30th at the Nevada County Fairgrounds.
