Arrive Early

Arrive at the parking facility at least 15 minutes prior to when you plan to line up for a show. If it's a weekend night or a sold out performance consider arriving 25-40 minutes earlier. The festival allows no late entry to shows. Why not find a parking spot, pay comfortably, and stroll over to the venue rather than being rushed through your Fringe experience? There are also hundreds of street performances so leave extra time to catch some on the way.
