Parking, Pets & The Paw Shuttle!
Parking and Pets Parking Our festival is having growing pains... and our parking is very limited, particularly on Saturday morning, due to the parade and 5K run. Please consider parking outside the business district on Saturday and either walking or hop aboard our free shuttle. Additional parking and shuttles are being operated from the Eagle River Historical & Cultural Fair at St. Andrew Church on Saturday & Sunday. A small fee supports the event. Keep in mind that parts of Business Boulevard will be closed all weekend -- The closure begins on Friday at 10am runs through Sunday at 6pm. All traffic will be routed around that area via Regency Drive. Safety is our highest priority. We know the road closure increases traffic congestion, but the higher priority is to protect families and children walking between the vendors, the mainstage and the carnival. If you are driving in the area, please be respectful and drive slowly... Thank you! Pets We love our pets but it is a good idea to keep them at home when you visit the festival. Over the years, we have had a numbr of incidents with inadvertent bites. Your pet may do fine until placed in a strange environment with other pets, people and unfamiliar noise. Let's keep everybody safe... and leave Fido at home! Exceptions are approved entry into Saturday's Parade or the Dog and Owner Look-a-Like Contest on Sunday morning. |
