“We are so pleased with the tremendous support we’ve received over the past few years and particularly this year,” said festival producer Terry Wickham. “We sold our last available ticket at 1:59 p.m. today.”

But not all hope is lost. The festival has an official ticket exchange to buy and sell tickets that can no longer be used. Tickets are sold on the exchange at face value plus a service charge.

Full festival passes and tickets for Saturday sold out just days after they went on sale in early June.

The festival kicks off its 45th year Thursday evening at Gallagher Park.
