WHAT TIME DOES IT START?

The Official Party start is 5:00 - The music starts about 6:00 with the main act coming on around 8 - plenty of time to get here after work!  The Park is open all day, and folks are welcome to come earlier and enjoy some of the fun.

IS IT REALLY FREE?

Admission to the event and the park is Free, there is no charge for the music - there is plenty of free parking available too - We do encourage folks to support the vendors though, there are fees for the kids area (veries from 1 ride tickets to unlimited wrist bands) - Food prices vary and of course there are craft and other vendors selling their goods.

CAN I BRING MY OWN FOOD?

Yes you can - but we really encourage folks to support the vendors, as that helps raise some needed funds for some good non-profits and helps fund Party in the Park.

CAN I BRING MY OWN ALCOHOL?

NO - We do have a beer garden that offers a variety of "adult" beverages from Beer to Margarita's - but they need to be purchased there - Glass Bottles and Alcohol are subject to be confiscated

CAN I BRING CHAIRS?

Yes you can - we encourage low-back chairs, but others are allowed - Respect is the key, and we request taller chairs be used on the outer areas of the concert area

WHAT TIME DOES IT END?

10:00 Is the end time for the show - sometimes varies a bit - but not by much 

WHAT ABOUT PARKING?  

Parking is available in ARD Parking Lots around the area,  You can park along the streets, the Parkside Church offers parking - the later you come the tougher it is, but within walking distance there is a ton of parking - We do the best we can and has worked well for 13 years!
