Question
Where can I park my car?
Answer
There is no on-site parking for guests. We recommend Uber, Lyft or bus transportation mentioned in the previous question, especially if you don't want to walk to the venue or plan to drink. However, if you do want to drive, there are several parking options a short walking distance from the venue: - East All Saints Street Parking Garage - MARC Station Parking, Frederick - Carroll Creek Garage - Patrick Street Parking Garage - The Frederick County Department of Housing and Community Development - Gilberts Restaurant Supply building (along East Patrick Street across from Union Knitting Mills building entrance)
Question
Will transportation be provided between to/from the hotel?
Answer
Yes! A bus will pick up at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel and Hilton Garden Inn at 3:15 pm sharp to take guests to the venue. Guests will need to walk a short distance to the venue after drop-off. There is a sign up sheet at both hotels. If you’re not taking checking into the hotels, but are utilizing the shuttle, we highly encourage you to take the shuttle departing from Hilton as the Marriott room blocks are full. FOR GUESTS CHECKING IN ON NOV. 4 PLEASE NOTE: Hotel check-in is at 3 pm. You may have to check in post-reception, but please let the front desk know you are here before departing. You may park your car in the hotel parking lot. For guests wanting to leave the reception early, a bus will depart at the drop-off location at 9:00 pm. Another bus will depart at 10:15 pm. If this timeline does not work for you or if you plan to go downtown post-reception, Uber and Lyft are available options to take you back to your hotel.
