Directions & Parking
- For directions to Flowers Field, use the address: 2105 Umstead Drive.
- The best park entrances to use are Hunt Drive off of Western Boulevard or Blair Drive off of Centennial Parkway.
- Parking is available in the four parking lots off of Umstead Drive.
- Due to the high volume of people and limited parking, please carpool if possible.
- Do not park in the grass – driving on tree roots damages the trees and we want to keep the 150 year old oaks around for as long as possible!
Know Before You Go
- Bring a blanket or low beach chairs to sit on, so that you don’t obstruct the view for others.
- While we encourage you to enjoy the food trucks, you may also bring your own food and beverages.
- Don’t forget the sunscreen and bug spray.
- Port-a-johns are available at the event site.
- Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome, but please use your best judgement to determine if your pooch will enjoy the show!
Weather
If we need to postpone due to inclement weather, we will communicate through Eventbrite email to registered participants.
