Front and center you will find the Soundstage complete with soft seating and fire pits.
Parking
Regarding parking for Daptoberfest®: Homecoming.
Yes, there is street parking but is expected to fill up quickly and we cannot block or impede the street where the shuttle will be driving, so we ask that you please take advantage of the offsite parking in advance and plan accordingly! Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Stay tuned for updated parking information.
