There should be a fair amount of street parking nearby. We suggest trying across Fremont Avenue to the west and walking along the lovely Burke-Gilman Trail to the event.
We also encourage you to bring a water bottle. If the day is as hot as it was last year, you’ll want it! There will be a water refill station at the event.
