No, however for collectors we have buttons available for purchase at our new INFORMATION Tent between the Ice Center and MVTA Bus pickup/drop off.
Parking is available in the Nicollet Middle School and Sky Oaks parking lots. Street parking is also available in the area, however to avoid potentially very long walks to get to the festival grounds we highly recommend parking at the Burnsville Transit Station and take our free MVTA Bus that drops you right in the middle of the festival! No walking and all Buses are wheel chair accessible. Buses run every 15 min minutes. Check the FREE BUS SERVICE page on this website for the full schedule.
We have a very limited amount of spaces for vehicles with Handicap Permits located at the West Entrance (Nicollet Avenue). However to limit your distance from this parking to the stage, food and beer tents, we strongly suggest you use our free handicap accessible MVTA buses that run every 15 min from the Burnsville Transit Station to the heart of our festival grounds.
We do not have sufficient volunteers to provide assistance so we strongly suggest anyone with mobility needs to park at the MVTA Burnsville Transit Station and ride our Free fully handicap accessible Buses that will drop you off right in the middle of the Festival next to the stage, food trucks, merchants and beer tents.
We recommend either the West Entrance (Nicollet Avenue and Civic Center Drive) or at Nicollet Middle School. If dropped off at the schools back side parking lot, you will need to walk down a hillside and after dark lighting is minimal so proceed at your own risk.
The easiest drop off without congestion is at the Burnsville Transit Station and hop on our free MVTA shuttle buses that take you to the heart of the Festival activities. Buses run every 15 min and also pick up on Nicollet and Civic Center Parkway as well.
Fireworks are on Friday & Saturday Night (weather permitting). Our goal is to start them at 9:40pm. The Fire Department must give us the all clear to initiate the fireworks based on weather conditions.
