Parking information

We are excited to offer a new parking lot for visitors. Parking remains limited, however, so we encourage guests to walk, bike, take public transit, or carpool whenever possible.

Drake Farmstead Park operates with one-way traffic flow during the event:

• Entrance: Drake Road
• Exit: Croydon Avenue

Volunteer parking attendants will be available to guide visitors to designated parking areas. If you or someone in your party has mobility challenges, please inform a parking attendant upon arrival. They will direct you to the designated drop-off location for easier access to the event.

 

Volunteer Opportunities
