- While there isn’t a single large parking lot directly in the center of the grassy areas, you have several close-by options depending on whether you want a lot, a garage, or street parking.
- Located right at 299 Front Street, this open-air city lot is directly adjacent to the park’s northern end. It is highly convenient but can fill up quickly during major weekend events.
- A municipal lot located just north of the Green Island Bridge along River Street. It provides an easy 5-minute walk down the riverfront trail directely into the park.
- Free and metered street parking is available along Chamberlain Way (Front Street), River Street and neighboring downtown blocks. Street parking is generally free after 5:00 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends.
- You will find multiple places to sit and relaz throughout the park
- Traditional benches are situated along the paved walkways.
- Stone seating walls and tiered steps face the water providing a great vantage point for views of the Hudson River.
- Large grassy areas are perfect for bringing your own lawn chairs or a picnic blanket
- You are more than welcome to bring your own folding chair with you if you would like! We just ask that you please set up away from the hustle and bustle near vendors.
- No, we are committed to keeping VEG OUT free for the public to attend. However, if you would like to support our efforts, we certainly welcome donations through our website, and we also accept cash and check donations at in-person events. For VEG OUT we are even giving thank you gifts to our donors. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
- Why yes, thank you for asking! As a mostly volunteer run not-for-profit organization, we have always relied heavily on our volunteers in order to run our festivals. If you are interested in volunteering, click HERE. Did we mention that volunteers get free food?
- Yes! Please remember to bring utensils and maybe even to-go containers to bring some of the delicious food home in! By bringing your own utensils, we can cut down on the amount of single use plastic waste heading to the landfill. Capital Region Vegan Network will have reusable stainless steel cups available for purchase.
- You can also volunteer to help Capital District Zero Waste by being a volunteer for the event. Sign up here to volunteer. In addition to garbage cans, we will also have recycling bins and compost bins on site with volunteers helping attendees to properly dispose of each item so we can keep as much out of the landfill as possible.
