Parking Tips & Guidelines

Arrive Early: Parking spots around Center Street and adjacent blocks fill up quickly ahead of major events, the car show, and peak afternoon crowds.
ADA Accessible Parking: Designated accessible spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis near the main event zones. Please ensure your valid DMV-issued handicap placard or license plate is clearly visible.
Street Closures: Sections of Center Street and intersecting avenues will be closed to vehicle traffic for festival setup and activities. Please watch for temporary directional signage and local traffic detours.
Respect Downtown Businesses: When parking on side streets or public lots, please avoid blocking private driveways, loading zones, or active business operations.
Vendor Unloading & Service Corridors: Designated back-of-house routes are reserved exclusively for registered festival vendors, emergency vehicles, and event staff setup.
* Regular motorists must keep these lanes completely clear—do not park or idle in designated vendor loading vectors.
