Parking is available in the lot at 768 W Main St and surrounding street parking, though spaces fill quickly after the first hour. The market is completely stroller-accessible with flat, paved surfaces and wide aisles between vendor tents. Arrive early for the most convenient parking spots closest to the entrance.
