Frequently Asked Questions

Iroquois Sports Complex – 500 Victoria St S. Whitby – South parking lot.
What are the hours of the event?
Saturday May 30th 11am – 9pm & Sunday May 31st 11am – 8pm
What is the entrance fee and where does the money go?
It is organized 100% by volunteers and our Annual event is a fundraiser. We have donated over $300,000 raised from this event to local charities and those in need around the world.
Entrance is $5.00 per person – children 14 and under are free. Every year, we are truly humbled by the people at the gate who give more than the 5$ knowing that 100% of the proceeds go directly back to charities. We also have to shout out to the trucks that give back to our event…inspiring
Are Pets Allowed?
We love pets too — but this event is a Pet-Free Zone.
As much as we adore our furry friends, past experience has shown us that food-focused events and pets do not mix well. The tempting treats, crowds, and confined space have led to a few close calls. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we ask that you leave pets at home.
Service Dogs are welcome.
If you are attending with a service dog, please ensure your dog is wearing a vest and/or that you are prepared to show appropriate documentation to our front gate volunteers. Service dogs must remain on a leash and stay with their handler at all times.
Special note for families:
If your child has a service dog and would like to enter the jumping castle area, please speak with a Rotary volunteer. We will do our best to accommodate you safely.
Thank you for helping us keep the event safe, inclusive, and enjoyable for all.
