## Quick answer

Expect 45-90 minute delays; park at ABYC lot instead of main ramp lot.

## Detailed answer

The festival closes Lake Shore Boulevard East sections and diverts parking to Ashbridges Bay Park. City of Toronto Parks restricts main lot access. Pre-register with ABYC for temporary parking, or launch before 6 AM to beat crowd arrivals from Scarborough Bluffs.
