Parking
We encourage festival attendees to take advantage of the free festival parking and bus shuttles that we have arranged. These parking lots are conveniently located close to the 401 so if you are travelling here from out of town you should plan to park at either site rather than navigate your way to the festival site itself.
Parking close to the festival site itself is not recommended.
Parking & Shuttle Locations:
• Brockville Memorial Civic Centre – 100 Magedoma Blvd, Brockville, ON K6V 7J5
(Main shuttle hub with accessible city buses)

Information on city parking, rates, and location of parking lots can be found on the City of Brockville’s Parking page on their website. Please note that some of the regular lots are within the festival grounds and will not be available for parking during that weekend.
If you are booked on one of our evening cruises, they will depart from and return to Blockhouse Island. A final bus shuttle will also be available at the end of the cruise to take you back to festival parking.
Accessible Parking
Brockville Memorial Civic Centre – 100 Magedoma Blvd, Brockville, ON K6V 7J5
There are limited parking spaces available, so if you are able to take the festival shuttle bus we recommend doing so. Golf cart drivers will help shuttle those with mobility concerns to different areas of the festival grounds.
We’ll also have golf carts and wagons on-site to help guests with mobility needs get from the shuttle drop-off to all the festival fun along the waterfront!
Staying at a Hotel?
If you’re staying at one of the local hotels, we’ll be running a dedicated hotel shuttle service for pick-up and drop-off throughout the festival
Coming by Train?
If you’re arriving at the Brockville train station, the easiest way to get to the festival is by arranging a taxi pickup. The station is close to the festival grounds, and due to bridge construction, our shuttles have been rerouted to avoid traffic congestion.

Road Closures
Pedestrians will be moving between the three festival site locations along the waterfront. For safety reasons and to reduce traffic jams along King Street and the waterfront, a number of roads next to the festival will be closed during the event. These closures will be marked on a map and announced prior to the festival.
Primary closures include Blockhouse Island Parkway (the main site of the festival itself), Market Street West, and Water Street from Market Street West to Ferry Street. Water Street West from Kincaid Street to Broad Street will be closed on the south side, allowing for west-bound traffic only on this street.
Avoid traffic and parking woes by taking our free festival shuttle and parking in our designated lots off site (information can be found above).
