Important Notices for Vendors and Festival Participants:

Please remember that pets, skateboards and bikes are not allowed on the festival site.

SUNDAY, July 17th - Festival END TIME:

The Duck Derby begins at 5:00 PM, the police will not open the street until after all of the pedestrian traffic has moved away from the street and onto the sidewalks comfortably. They determine when that is, based on the crowd size and their movement. Safety is their responsibility.

To that end, all vendors should know 6:00 PM is when they can move cars to Wolcott Street to Pack up and depart and NOT BEFORE. We have tried to accomodate traffic on Wolcott Street during the derby to help vendors get away at a decent time, but pedestrian safety by the police takes priority.

The parade will begin at 11:00 am on Saturday July 16th. The parade will form up on Lent Avenue.
