Parking Information

Free parking will be available in the Sheppard Elementary School parking lot on West Avenue, across the street from Bayer Park. Parking is also available at the Roseland University Prep parking lot near the park. Look for the signs. We will also offer safe bicycle parking at the event, so consider riding your bike instead of driving! North Bay Kruzers is doing an organized bike ride from Humboldt Park in Santa Rosa. Meet at the park at 9:45am or meet at the fish statue on the Prince Memorial Greenway at 10am to join the bike train to the Harvest Festival!

Map

We are aiming for a very low waste festival this year, so please bring your own refillable water bottles to use at the hydration station and your own reusable utensils, napkins, and plates if you are planning to eat!

And if you can, consider walking or riding your bike! We’re working on setting up a bicycle parking are that will be staffed by volunteers throughout the festival.
