In addition to hosting Wilmington's 2010 Earth Day Festival, Hugh MacRae Park may be open and available for other, non-related events. Due to the size and nature of the event, some of the Park's interior roads will be closed and not accessible, adding to the already limited parking situation.
FREE Shuttle Service...USE IT!
Due to the extremely limited parking, you are encouraged to utilize a satellite parking area. To accommodate the assumed 5,000+ Festival attendees, the Earth Day Alliance has arranged FREE shuttle service (sponsored by WAVE Transit). The FREE trolley service to the satellite parking is available from 11:30-6:30 at the Cinema 6 parking lot next to Tidal Creek.
If you're not familiar with the area, please refer to this map of Hugh MacRae Park and the surrounding area:
Ride your Bike to the Celebration!
Because of the limited parking, this is a perfect opportunity to remind yourself of last year's Wilmington Earth Day 2009 theme: "How do you get around". Consider riding a bike when planning your transportation to the Festival. If you are one of the growing number of North Caroliners who are looking for a great excuse to ride your bike...here it is.
Watch for our upcoming map of bike paths leading to Hugh MacRae Park. As soon as it's complete — we'll be adding it to this page.
