Reminder - here's the parking information for tomorrow!!

Here is a map of all the different parking options for PumpkinFest! along with the blue lots, there is also free street parking all throughout.

And - Thanks to Robinson Transport Inc. we will once again have a shuttle!! You can park at the old high school lot (access and pickup on East Mill Street) and the bus will be making loops from the event to the lot from 10am to approximately 5pm.

Also, please note - St. Paul United Church of Christ has a wedding Saturday afternoon, so the main part of their lot will be blocked off to ensure parking will be available for their wedding guests.

There are some designated handicapped parking spaces available on the south end of the event space, near Coffee Girl/First National Bank of Waterloo. Please be kind and save those spaces for those that truly need them, so that they can enjoy PumpkinFest too!
