ALL PARKING FOR THIS EVENT IS FESTIVAL PARKING
All cars will park in our grassy field. The grassy field is uneven and can sometimes get muddy and wet. We will do our best to close off muddy locations. Staff members and volunteers are stationed in the field to help you.

HANDICAPPED PARKING & THE DROP-OFF AREA
A section in the Parking Field (adjacent to the paved drive) is designated for Handicapped Parking. A valid handicap tag is required to park in this area. If requested, we can shuttle guests in a golf cart from this area to the Admissions Gate. Just ask one of our parking field volunteers. We recommend that drivers make use of the Quick Drop-Off Area before going to the Handicap Parking Area. A rest station near the drop-off area is available where your passenger(s) can wait while you park.
