The National Folk Festival is returning to Downtown Salisbury September 10-12, 2021 and the footprint of the event is available to view below. (Click to view PDF)
As you’ll notice, the event footprint is much smaller than 2018
& 2019’s Festival, which reduces the number of street and lot closures that
will occur.
Parking Lot
Closures & Relocations Lots will be closing in a rolling fashion, and
the included grid and map will help you figure out where to park during the
period if/when your usual permitted lot is closed.
| If you normally park: | Move to: |
| Lot 10 by Main Street |
Lot 10 closer to Church Street |
| Lot 1 | Parking Garage |
| Lot 15 | Parking Garage |
| Lot 11 | Parking Garage |
| Lot 16 | Parking Garage |
| Lot 4 | Parking Garage *changed from original letter that went out* |
| Lot 12 | Parking Garage |
We will be providing parking
passes to permit holders disrupted by the lot closures in the weeks leading up
to the Festival.
**During Festival hours (when
permit parking is not enforced), we recognize that parking might be an issue
and unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee a parking spot for permit
holders. Please plan accordingly. This will likely affect people working evening
shifts **
Street Closures
A majority of the street closures will occur Friday morning
of the Festival. At this time, any cars left on streets within the scope of the
