Event Parking
Parking will be available at multiple locations throughout the community on a first-come, first-served basis. To help attendees get to and from the event, complimentary shuttle buses will run continuously throughout the day, providing transportation between designated parking lots and Riverside Park.
Parking attendants will be available at the lots 4 – 8 to assist with parking and direct traffic. Lots without an attendant will be self-serve.
To help manage traffic flow and maximize available parking, attendees are encouraged to fill parking Lots 1–5 first. Lots 6–8 should be used as overflow parking once the primary lots have reached capacity.
Accessible parking is available on site on a first-come, first-served basis for vehicles displaying a valid accessibility placard. Access to accessible parking is available via Lampitt Avenue.
Please park only in designated event parking areas and avoid parking in private business lots unless you are patronizing that business. This helps ensure local businesses remain accessible to their customers throughout the event.
We encourage attendees to arrive early, allow extra time for parking and shuttle transportation, and follow all posted signage and directions from parking attendants.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to make this year’s event enjoyable and accessible for everyone!
