Getting to the Festival
Festival Parking
NEW PARKING LOCATION!
BROWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, 40 BALDWIN ROAD
This year's parking location is closer and will allow for more efficient trolley service to and from the Festival.
DO NOT attempt to park in Old Town Marblehead or the surrounding neighborhoods due to road closures, limited spaces, heavy foot traffic, and other traffic restrictions. Illegal or unauthorized parking is, unfortunately, subject to parking tickets and towing.
