🍂 FALLING FOR LOCAL IS THIS SATURDAY AND THIS YEAR, GETTING TO THE PARK LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT! 🍂
We’re SO excited to see everyone at Falling for Local at Dorothea Dix Park this Saturday! 🎃🍁

NEW THIS YEAR: Parking at the park is VERY LIMITED, so we need everyone to plan ahead and consider alternative ways to get to the festival.

The City of Raleigh is requiring us to encourage attendees to carpool, walk, use the free shuttle, ride share, or utilize public transportation because there simply isn’t enough parking on the park campus for everyone.

🚨 PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU COME!
🚗 DO NOT DRIVE OR PARK ON THE GRASS.
Seriously. Please don't do it. 😂
Driving on the grass damages the roots of the beautiful 150-year-old oak trees we all want to keep around for another 150 years. 🌳❤️
Towing will be enforced.

🚌 FREE SHUTTLES
We have FREE shuttles running between Downtown Raleigh and Dix Park!
📍 Downtown pickup: Maeve — 319 W. Lenoir St.
📍 Dix Park drop-off: Big Field near Meals on Wheels along Biggs Drive
♿ Shuttles are ADA accessible.

🚗 RIDESHARE
Taking Uber or Lyft?
Use “Spring Hill Park and Ride” as your drop-off/pick-up location.
This will be the designated rideshare location for the event.

🚶‍♀️ WALKING
Park downtown and walk to the park! There are several public parking options within walking distance.
Yes, it's a little exercise.
Think of it as earning your pumpkin spice latte. 😂🎃

🤝 CARPOOL
Coming with friends? Ride together!
One car = fewer parking headaches for everyone.

🚌 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
GoTriangle Route 305 provides service through the Centennial/Bilyeu area on weekends. Plan your trip before you leave using the GoRaleigh/GoTriangle trip planner.

🚗 PARK DOWNTOWN
There are several downtown parking decks available and then you can either walk to Dix Park or catch the free shuttle from Maeve.

🍂 THE BOTTOM LINE
Familiarize yourself with your transportation plan BEFORE you head to Falling for Local.
Don't wait until you're sitting in traffic at Dix Park thinking, “Well... now what?” 😂

We want you spending your Saturday enjoying 200+ local vendors, food trucks, fall activities, live entertainment, b**r, family fun and ALL THE LOCAL LOVE, not circling the park looking for a parking space.

👉 See all parking, shuttle, rideshare and walking options, including maps at the link below.

Falling for Local: Getting There + Parking
PLAN. AHEAD. CARPOOL. SHUTTLE. WALK. RIDESHARE.
