2027 Partnership Opportunities
We are seeking partners to keep this cherished community event alive and thriving despite the rising costs of producing a safe, high-quality festival of this scale. Email info@grandave.com if you are interested in partnering in 2027.
Unlike many major events, Grand Old Day remains free to the public—a true gift to our community that also supports hundreds of local businesses, artists, and organizations as well as promotes our community as safe and vibrant. But this commitment comes at a cost.
Public Parking Options
Anderson Parking Facility: Free parking (at Grand and Cretin) and a free shuttle (pick-up at Summit and Cretin) along Summit Avenue from 9 AM - 7 PM. Shuttles run every 30 to 45 minutes, traffic dependent.
Bike Parking
The Wedding Shoppe parking lot (south side of Grand Ave near Ayd Mill Road). Bike parking is self-serve, and we encourage you to bring a lock. Grand Avenue Business Association is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
