Curious, will the parking situation be similar to that of the Freeport Water Fest? I'm just curious if working out of the car could be an option? Or if the parking was all streetside and a decent trek back and forth.
Thanks! Can't wait to see baby Ten again!

The competitor's will be able to drive in and unload, then go park. There's no parking within the Oyster Festival. Most of the competitors will be arriving before the Festival opens, so I don't foresee a parking problem. There's Street parking and shuttles. More info in competitor emails.
Yes, I'm excited too! Look forward to seeing you and PRE. This is a real nice event, lots and lots of food! The Oyster Festival is sooo excited about us being there.
Competitor emails will go out tomorrow, Monday with all needed info. Weather as of now, right at the average.... 60's and

I sent you an email on the 14th... the answer would be yes, you can park your RV at Beekman Beach parking lot. You will not be able to exit until the close of the Festival, both Saturday and Sunday.
If you still have any questions, please give me a call. My number is in the competitor email.
Hope that helps.

If you choose to pull in and park at Beekman Beach (within the Festival) you will not be able to get your vehicle out through the crowds until the close of the Festival each night-Sat & Sun. Keep in mind there is a fireworks show on Saturday evening.
Take the good with the bad...... The better news is..... Expect large crowds of over 200,000 + enjoying the Ultimate Air Dogs
