Event Location
Ocean Boulevard (Center Beach) of Hampton Beach is closed to traffic and becomes a pedestrian mall.
Free Shuttle and Parking
Free parking and shuttle service is available at over 13 in-town satellite parking lots for Sat/Sun. The shuttle service has proved to be the fastest, safest, and most cost-effective way to get to the Festival. With no cost, and less aggravation; it has become the most popular way to attend and enjoy the Festival. We highly recommend volunteers to take advantage of this service. For a complete list of available parking lots check out their website at https://www.
FRIDAY PARKING AND SHUTTLE: Use the town parking lot on High Street across from TD Bank There will be a bus leaving at 12 noon on Friday to take volunteers for the first and second shifts. The bus company has to do school runs until 4 PM. Volunteers working at 3pm would need to catch that bus or find parking at the beach on their own.
