Parking
Limited parking will be available at the park, but the overflow can park and walk from Crosspointe Fellowship Church, at 8605 Gulf Drive, just north of the festival, also at the Manatee Public Beach. Use the Anna Maria Island trolley from there for free!
Extra parking is also available at Hancock Whitney Bank, 5324 Gulf Drive, Holmes Beach, and is a couple of blocks walk to the festival. It is a nice leisurely walk for many of our Anna Maria Island vacation rentals.
