Getting to Life Outside

Important Information About Parking:

There will be no parking in St. Vincent County Park the day of the festival except for people who have current disabled license plates or a placard.

Parking is available at Incarnate Word Academy (2788 Normandy Drive, Saint Louis, MO 63121 ). The parking lot is directly west of the festival grounds and just a quick walk across a field.

Parking will also be available on the south campus of the University of Missouri St. Louis in parking lots VV, WW, TT, and OO. You can access these lots off of Natural Bridge Road. (Click here to download a map of the south campus.) It is about a 15 minute walk to the festival grounds from this parking lot. Parking attendants will be on hand to direct you to the St. Vincent Greenway.
