FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR SHOPPERS PLANNING TO ATTEND FLEA FEST

 

1.  Is this event at Burton Coliseum?

Sort of!  It is on the property of Burton Coliseum, Now known as Burton Complex, on Gulf Hwy, close to the Lake Charles Airport. BUT...Flea Fest is held in the EVENT BARN, which is the big blue and gray building just south of Burton Coliseum.  It is attached to Burton Coliseum via an alley way.  Just to clarify, it is NOT in the outdoor rodeo arena and it is NOT inside the big round coliseum.

 

2.  How much are tickets?

Tickets for the show are $5. 

 

3.  Where can I purchase tickets?  

Tickets will be available for cash purchase at the gate upon entry. 

 

4.  Is there a charge for parking? 

Good News! There is plenty of FREE PARKING available! 

 

5.  Will there be food at the festival?

OH YES!  We have plenty of delicious options throughout our food vendor area.  We also provide a diner area for shoppers to sit and relax a while before getting back to the shopping!

 

6.  Why is there an admission cost?

To keep the cost of vendor space affordable, we must charge a small entrance fee.  There are huge costs involved with putting on an event like this, and unlike some events which own the property on which they hold their shows, we have costs for ours.  Other costs, like advertising, staffing, insurance, and more add up quickly! 

 

7.  May I bring my dog to Flea Fest?

While we LOVE PETS, we ask that you do not bring in outside pets for the safety of your pet and for the safety and comfort of all our shoppers.  There are large crowds at this event, and having a pet in this situation may be very stressful for the pet and could also cause your pet to react unusually to other people. To avoid potential liability of a dog bite, or other problems, we ask that you please play it safe and leave your pet at home.

 

8.  Is there handicap parking available?  

Handicap parking spaces are available on the West side of the fence near the Main Entrance.   

 

9.  Will there be an ATM at the event?

YES! The ATM will be located in front of the office in the center of the barn (near the DJ Booth).  

 

10.  What happens if it rains?

The show goes on as planned!  Our venue is entirely covered so it will go on rain or shine!

 

11. Will there be mobility scooters available for rent?

Unfortunately, at this time we do not offer mobility scooters for rent.  The Event Barn can become conjested at times, but you are welcome to bring your own.

 

12.  Can I smoke/vape in the Event Barn?

This is a non-smoking venue.  There are designated smoking/vaping areas outside the barn. Please look for signs around the barn directing you to these areas.
