Parking
The O’Brien Park parking lot will be available for event parking. If O’Brien parking lot is full, event attendees can seek other public parking opportunities throughout the Downtown area.
Public parking is just a short walking distance from the park. Parking at Parker Town Hall, PACE Center, Discovery Park or the Schoolhouse parking lot is a great way to stroll through Downtown on your way to and from the event.
Or, you can park west of Parker Road and walk through Kieffer’s Crossing, an underground tunnel that helps pedestrians avoid crossing South Parker Road. The tunnel is between Taco Bell/Long John Silver’s and Colorado State Bank and Trust.
Hometown Holiday Continues…

Chuck. This event has changed a number of times. You are correct the Festival starts on the 29th. There is a separate market on Dec. 6. We have removed the mention of the market from the copy. – LD
