We’re mighty excited to have ya join us for the upcoming Mayberry and Lucy Festival! Now, while a whole heap of our sessions, talks, and activities are free with the purchase of a festival ticket, some of ‘em require a little extra attention. Those sessions that need indoor space for fancy gadgets and a cozy spot to share stories and pictures do require reservations—what we call ticketed sessions. Due to some rules set by the Fire Marshal, there’s only a limited number of spots available for these events, and they come with an additional small fee to hold your place. Below, you'll find the full list of events that need reservations, so be sure to grab your tickets before the seats are all spoken for. Don’t let the fun pass ya by—get your tickets and join us for all the good times this year’s festival has to offer!
