If there’s a specific band you’re hoping to see, check the event schedule and plan accordingly. Free street parking is available and some businesses open their lots but parking can be congested. Handicapped parking is available for those with proper documentation. For the safety and enjoyment of everyone, Apple Fest requests that you refrain from parking on private property or anywhere that blocks access to streets, driveways, or emergency vehicles.
