Parking Information - Wednesday Night:
- We are anticipating a large turnout.
- If you plan on parking at the firehouse, we suggest you arrive no later than 6:00pm (the Carnival opens at 6pm)
- If parking at the firehouse is full, there is a shuttle that will run continuously from the Town Park.
- Once the parade begins, there will be no travel to the firehouse until the parade ends.

*Please note, we have especially limited parking at the firehouse this year due to the wet field conditions.

Thanks for contacting us. The decision to close will be made during each day, usually by mid afternoon, which will then get posted on our website and Facebook.
