Rove Acres is woman-led, queer-owned, and family-grown — thoughtfully created to be a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for all. We believe in kindness, creativity, and the joy of connecting through nature.

Is your site open to the public daily?

Events & Tickets

How do I buy tickets?
Go to our Events page and choose the event you'd like to attend. That will open the full event listing — just click “Get Tickets” to complete your purchase.
Note: Some of our events are ticketed, while others are by donation or pay what you can. Event listings will always include pricing and access details so you know what to expect.
Tickets are also available on site, unless the event is sold out or we've reached capacity — so we always recommend booking ahead when possible.

What’s your ticket policy?
All ticket sales are final. Tickets are non-refundable but are transferable — if you can’t attend, you’re welcome to give your ticket to a friend. Events at Rove Acres run rain or shine, so please dress for the weather. In the case of extreme weather or cancellations, we’ll notify you by email and offer a reschedule or a credit toward a future event.

Do kids need tickets?
Kids under 2 are usually free, but policies vary by event. Please check the event listing for details.

Is there parking onsite?
Yes, but spots are limited. Carpooling is encouraged when possible.
