Parking
The majority of the Goofball parking lot is reserved for ADA-parking and our community partners who will be set-up tabling outside.
You MAY NOT park in the lot across the street from Goofball, or on the west side of the building. These lots belong to our neighboring businesses (Crossfit and Premium Pitching) and are reserved for their customers! Additionally, if you park on the street, please park along the trail-side of the street.
You MAY park on the street in any of these marked green areas; any of the areas with a red X are where parking is not allowed! But please make sure you are not blocking anyone’s driveways. Thank you!

There will be a quiet room on site. The venue is accessible by foot, bicylce, and public transportation. Read more about our fest’s accessibility here.
