No Dogs, No Pets Sorry, no dogs are allowed at the Festival. Service pets should wear identification. Dogs on boats should be on leash when taking bathroom breaks, and owners should dispose of you know what. We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for your cooperation as we continue this 36-year safety tradition. Where to Park Limited street parking is available early mornings, but check signs: Many spots have a two-hour limit. Please be courteous of the neighborhood lawns, driveways and fire hydrants. Towing does happen in Port Townsend. Jefferson County Memorial Athletic Field is right next to the Festival gates, and offers paid parking. Sponsored by Jefferson County Parks & Recreation, all proceeds from parking go to maintain the public field. Hours are 8 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday ($10), 7 a.m.-11 p.m. Saturday ($20), and 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday ($10). A three-day pass is available for $30, and vehicles more than 30 feet long will be charged an extra $10. Park nearby and support a great cause!
Wheels Inside the Gates All bikes, skateboards or roller blades should be parked outside the gates. Strollers are OK inside the grounds, but not on docks. We encourage all locals to ride their bikes and have provided a free “Bike Marina” at NWMC, near the Main Gate entrance. First-Class First Aid The medical station is near the food court.
