Where to Park
There is NO parking available at the festival location.* That said, we’ve designed this year’s event to be intimate and easy to get around…
For those planning to join us at the Baker’s Roundtable and/or stay at Home2 Suites (see below), we highly recommend parking in the large parking lot indicated on the map and walking to/from the event. It’s going to be a nice day and it’s just over a half mile from the parking lot to the festival. Otherwise, there is limited parking on nearby streets, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
*Note: There are a limited number of handicap spaces available. If needed, please email westcoastbreadfestival@gmail.com and we will provide instructions on where to park.
