Parking and Pets

Parking

Our festival is having growing pains... and our parking is very limited, particularly on Saturday morning, due to the parade and 5K run.   Please consider parking outside the business district on Saturday and either walking or hop aboard our free shuttle.

 

Keep in mind that   Parts of Business Boulevard will be closed all weekend -- The closure begins on Friday at 10am runs through Sunday at 6pm. All traffic will be routed around that area via Regency Drive.

Safety is our highest priority.  We know the road closure increases traffic congestion, but the higher priority is to protect families and children walking between the vendors, the mainstage and the carnival. If you are driving in the area, please be respectful and drive slowly... Thank you!

Pets

We love our pets but unless your animal is very comfortable around lots of people, cars, noise and rides, it is a good idea to keep them at home when you visit the festival. Over the years, we have had a number of inadvertent bites because animals are stressed.  Your pet may do fine until placed in a strange environment with other pets, people and unfamiliar noise.

Remember Safety First.... But if your pup is down for a festival visit and needs a drink of water, there is a watering station for puppies at Town Center Park Bricked Pavillion sponsored by Home Away From Home K-9 Day Care.
