Artist parking is any public parking space or lot. You may NOT park in Marina reserved parking for permit holders. You will get a ticket and/or towed. Trailer parking is limited. I have 4 spaces held for $25 each for weekend . They are 1st paid, 1st reserved.

Please make sure you have weights. I am NOT flexible on this for the safety of other makers and for the safety of the public. You are near water! Staking is allowed as well. No water jugs, cat litter bottles. Weight checks will be done once you get tent setup.
