For Parade Participants
There is no parking available at the staging grounds.
The school parking areas there are used solely for lining up the marching
units and inflating the balloons and, thus, are closed to all vehicles.
There are no exceptions. Convenient parking is
available at the Glen Cove Parking
Garages on Brewster Street, from where a free shuttle bus is available to the
staging area.
Participants who wish to park at the end of the parade may follow the
parade route and carpool to St. Patrick's Church parking lot, where
parking is available in the areas not reserved for balloon deflation.
For Spectators
There are large multilevel parking garages behind the School
Street and Glen Street viewing areas of the parade. The garages on the
north of School Street may be entered from
Brewster Street and the garages on the south side can be entered from Glen
Street or from Highland Road. Both parking areas give easy access to the School Street and Glen Street
viewing areas. All parking is free.
