Sunday Night Departures

For safety reasons, artisans staying open after dark on Sunday are asked to wait until the evening concert ends and the majority of audience members have left the park before driving their vehicles off the festival site. If you wish to close up your tent early and watch the Sunday night concert, your vehicle can remain in the designated Artisans' Village/Volunteer/Performer parking area.
