FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

As we make the final preparations for our big event, here are answers to a lot of questions we’ve been getting…

We don’t charge any admission to the grounds, nor do we charge for parking. When you come to our festival, the only things you’ll have to pay for are the carnival rides, food, beverages, etc

WHAT DO I DO IF I WANT TO ENTER THE PARADE?

We’ll take applications online until Tuesday morning. (Just click on “parade” on the menu to the right) After that, if you wish to be part of the parade, you’re welcome to come to the mashalling area Saturday morning Aug 14 between 8:30 and 9:30am on 15th Street near the golf course (make sure you’re travelling south)  We’ll let you know where to park to wait for the parade to start.  Last minute entries will just be added to the back of the parade.  There is no entry fee for the parade.

Where can I park?

We generally run out of nearby parking spaces early in the day, so we encourage car pooling, walking and biking to the grounds whenever possible.  There are parking lots located on Grandeur Avenue (watch for signs), in front of the swimming pool at 600 Park Street, plus at the GVC parking lots on Main Street. Otherwise, you’ll have to find a spot on the side streets. Please check the parking signs to make sure you’re parking legally.

What happens if it rains?

Like most outdoor events, our activities will go rain or shine unless the weather makes it impossible. The local radio stations will broadcast and significant changes to the schedule.
