Know Before You Go… Parking Options

The festival takes place in Parfet Park in Golden with plenty of parking options nearby. We have compiled a list of parking options for you. Some options are free, while others require a few bucks (cheaper than a parking ticket!) Some are a bit closer than others. DO NOT PARK IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS AROUND THE EVENT - YOU WILL BE TICKETED!

#1 PRO TIP: Take the FREE SHUTTLE!
