On both Saturday and Sunday Complimentary Parking will be on the 2nd – 4th levels of Rappahannock River Parking Deck (#41) on the Map. If you would like to park closer you can park in Mason Pond Parking Deck/Shenandoah Parking deck for $8/day.
In order to avoid the heavy traffic we encourage all patrons to enter via OX Road (Route 123) and University Drive. For those traveling 123 North from Lorton/Woodbridge etc – please note this will be the most traffic heavy area, so plan for delays.

Do note – there will be heavy traffic around Shenandoah and Mason Pond.
