Parking

Event parking will be available at Swann Middle School and at the Women’s Resource Center (see map). Guests should please use these areas as

  • there is very limited street parking available in the neighborhood during the event,

  • additional vehicles in the neighborhood make it difficult for performers and those with mobility issues arriving during the afternoon,

  • there is considerable foot traffic on neighborhood streets.

All neighborhood streets remain open throughout the event and are shared by cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. Please use caution when driving, biking, or walking. Drivers are asked to please be patient with foot traffic and bicyclists, and to obey all traffic laws and signage.
