Everyone is welcome to attend Swartz Creek Hometown Days. However, after 7:00 PM, anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 21 years old to remain at the event.

This is the rule that tends to spark the most debate among festivalgoers. While some people may not agree with it, organizers have made it clear that the policy will be enforced during the event.
