Parking Information

Town parking is in three different areas around the festival, noted as green on the map. The Delmar Reformed Church and Community Care Delmar have graciously agreed to offer their lots for parking as well. We also encourage you to walk/ride on the Rail Trail to the festival so you don't have to worry about parking! There is no parking on side streets around the festival, noted on the map.

For those needing accessible parking, we have designated parking spots across the street at Barbara School of the Dance, and a special transport to get you across to the festival! We encourage you to drop off those needing parking closeby and there will be volunteers assisting with drop off.

We also encourage you to bike and there are bike racks at the event and we're steps away from the Albany County Rail Trail!
