## Quick answer

Woodbine Beach lots fill early; use Lake Shore Boulevard East street parking or arrive before 8 a.m.

## Detailed answer

The festival spans multiple weekends along Queen Street East and Woodbine Beach. City of Toronto Parks closes portions of the main lot for staging. Trailer towers should monitor the City of Toronto website for lot closure maps and consider launching from Outer Harbour or Cherry Beach as backup.
