Festival Times - On both days, Main St. becomes closed to traffic at 11:00am, the shuttle buses start operating at 11:30am, and music begins at noon. The last shuttle bus runs will be at 10:00pm on Saturday, and 6:00pm Sunday, just as the last bands end. Parking - Parking is free. The established parking areas will be at the Rosendale Elementary and Brookside Schools on Lucas Turnpike, the Iron Mountain kiln lot (to the left of their main entrance), the Bloomington Firehouse, and the Tillson School on Grist Mill Rd. There will be regular shuttle buses from each of these lots. There will be limited Shuttle Buses - UCAT will be running two loops, with buses picking up and dropping off passengers anyplace along the routes. Loops will run as frequently as possible. We hope this will be one run every 30 minutes, but it may be more depending upon traffic. Western Loop serves parking lots at the Brookside School on Tanhouse Brook Rd and the Rosendale Elementary School at 1915 Lucas Avenue Extension, proceeds east on Cottekill Road, taking Sawdust Ave to Binnewater Road, to the kiln parking lot at Iron Mountain, then back to 213 to discharge passengers at the western end of Main Street. The return trip is the reverse of the above. Eastern Loop originates at the Bloomington Firehouse parking lot, takes Route 32 South to the northmost end of Kallop Rd, then to Hickory Bush Rd, Breezy Hill Rd, Binnewater Rd to Route 213/Main St at the West end of town. The bus also travels from the Tillson School, across Route 32 to Tillson Rd, to Springtown / Elting rd, down Keator Ave across the bridge to Route 213/Main St at the West end of town. Note: Unlike previous years, there is no shuttle dropoff or pickup on the East (Stewart's) end of town. |
