Accessible Parking will be available the Mart Dock and L.C. Walker Arena lot. Golf cart shuttles will make frequent trips between the Accessible Parking pickup area and the festival grounds to assist you. The accessibility carts are available to our patrons with disabilities only.

STOPPING on Shoreline Drive AT ANY TIME IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED (even to just drop people off). We’ve had many close calls. It’s dangerous, and we want to make sure everyone arrives and gets home safely.

Summer is also the season for construction and those living to the north will need to take a slight detour via M 120 to get home.  Locally known as "The Spider Web," Michigan Department of Transportation will be resurfacing two bridges and the full replacement of the northbound US-31 BR bridge near Getty Street.  The project will be completed in two stages with posted detours.  Stage 2 occurs May through October with the closure and replacement of the northbound US-31 BR bridge near Getty Street.  Click here for a detailed map.

Updated lane closure information may be obtained from MDOT's M-Drive site at www.michigan.gov/drive. Simply search by county or route to identify the closures in the immediate vicinity, or zoom/pan the map as appropriate, clicking on highlighted closures for further information.
