Important Arrival Info

This year we have a new parking program. Those with a camping pass will continue to park in the field at Hunter Park, accessed via the Riley Rink. Those coming for the day will now park at Dorr Field, which is just a lovely and short walk through the woods from the fest. While the lots are close as the crow flies, the entrances are not, so please review the maps below. For directions you can click on the links below, or type the address into Google Maps or your GPS:
