2010 Bus Reservation Forms

2010 bus reservation forms for Cranfest are now available online. This year's festival will be held September 24-26, and booths open at 7 a.m. each day.

Tour buses can park at the festival for $30 per bus. Please advise potential passengers that the
Warrens Cranberry Festival covers many acres, and that a considerable amount of walking will be required of festival guests. There are currently no wheel chair or scooter rentals on the grounds at this time.

On Friday and Saturday of the festival, tour buses can request a step-on guide to take them on a
cranberry marsh tour. Guests will have the opportunity to learn about the history of cranberry production and catch an up-close glimpse at an actual cranberry bog. A step-on guide tour is available for $6 per person on the bus, excluding the tour guide and the bus driver, in addition to the $30 parking fee. If you choose this option, your tour will be held when you arrive at the festival. The deadline for step-on guide requests and payment is September 1, 2010. Step-on guide tours will not be available after this date.

If the entire bus does not wish to take a marsh tour, individual marsh tours are available for $6 per person at the Municipal Building in Warrens. Step-on guide tours and individual tours are held Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tours leave every 15 minutes and last about one hour.

Sunday buses must arrive by 8:30 a.m. Buses arriving on this day should plan on staying until after the parade (approximately 3 p.m.) for traffic reasons. No marsh tours or step-on guides are available on Sunday.

If your bus company is interested in attending the festival, please return the reservation form and check to the festival office by September 1, 2010. The festival does not take credit cards at this time. To ensure your bus will be able to park at the festival, please enclose your check with the form. Unpaid buses will not be able to park until payment has been arranged.

If you have further questions about buses at the festival, please contact the festival office at
608-378-4200 or office@cranfest.com.

We look forward to seeing you at the festival!
