Parking anywhere near the Festival is extremely limited. If you are arriving in Port Townsend with a vehicle, here are some of your options:Â
Free shuttles run all day Friday and Saturday and half a day on Sunday from the Haines Place Park & Ride (by Safeway) and Festival. Please do not park in the Safeway parking lot.
- Street Parking
The earlier you arrive to Festival, the easier it is to find street parking nearby. This webpage shows designated parking areas in downtown Port Townsend. Later in the day, you might have better luck finding somewhere to park on the uptown residential streets (like Lawrence, Clay, Franklin, and Jefferson) and walking down to Festival grounds. - Drop-off Zone
There is a drop-off zone located on Water Street, right in front of the main entrance to Festival, where you can drop off children and passengers if you need to park farther away. Cars dropping off passengers with wheelchairs or other mobility aids can pull into this lot for dropoff as well. - Accessible Parking
We have a limited number of designated parking spots for those with disabled parking permits directly adjacent to the main entrance to the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival, in the parking lot on Monroe Street between Water Street and Jefferson Street.Â
