Paddler & visitor advisory
If you are planning a Sunday morning stand-up paddleboard session or looking to launch near the downtown basin on October 18th, expect heavy foot traffic, limited parking around downtown and the Pier garages, and energetic crowds near Straub Park and the waterfront decks.
Plan to arrive extra early if you want to secure parking before the festival gates open at 11:00 AM — or better yet, grab a ticket, drop your board for another day, and join the fitness community on the turf.
