SHOULD I BRING A CHAIR?

For the Summer Hoot performances on Hoot Hill you are encouraged to bring a camping chair, blanket, parasol - or just sit/dance in the grass. The Winter Hoot is indoors with benches and chairs provided.

CAN I COME FOR JUST A FEW HOURS?

Yes! Feel free to come and go when you like. If you are parked in the campground however, please leave your car in place all weekend. 

is there beer?

We serve local beer and cider in our fine collectible stainless Hoot cups. Please drink responsibly and enjoy the show!

Is this a good family event?

Absolutely. Many hootsters bring their parents AND their kids! This is truly a multi-generational event, where all are welcome and encouraged. 

Accessibility

Summer: Our main stage/audience area is handicapped accessible. The top of Hoot Hill and some areas of the vendor village are not easily accessed. Our restrooms and the first floor of all buildings are accessible.

Winter: Our buildings are ground floor accessible. Wheelchair access to the main lodge is from the lower staff/handicapped parking lot via the door beside the kitchen. Once in that building, the first floors of other buildings can be accessed on wheels via pathways. Please direct specific accessibility questions to events@ashokancenter.org
 

are there showers in the campground?

The "musical" campground has a bath house which is open to anyone to use. The "quiet" campground has no shower facility.
