Parking
Since Goldston's Beach parking lot will be FULL of craft vendors and the
grass lot across the street will be FULL of food vendors, we have found
parking for you folks!! Looking at this Google Map you will see a large
grassy area behind Rondaveu Pizzeria and Ski Burger. We call that MelFest Field. This is one parking area. To get to that area, go past Ski Burger on your right, going towards Goldston's Beach, and just past Rondaveu - the second street, turn right. There will be plenty of signs and people directing traffic. Get in the general vicinity, and we will find you. The other option is The Venue between Goldston's Beach and Regal Resort. There are about 90 parking places there. ***All cars must be moved from this lot Saturday night after the live music. Parking is FREE!
*****Remember that White Lake Drive - this main street through the businesses of White Lake, will close at 9:30 for the parade. It will open back up around 11:00. Get to the Melfest Field by 9:30. Then you have a short stroll to Goldston's to the right and Camp Clearwater to the left. Or stop right there, sit back, and enjoy the parade!
If you need handicapped parking, there are usually two at each business. Any of the parking places around the arcade at Camp Clearwater are handicap-accessible. There will also be a row of parking places marked "handicapped" just to the right of the town hall nearest the ATM.
If you are staying local and want to join the fun on White Lake Drive but don't want to worry about parking, the Trolley will be running after the parade. Catch a ride on the Trolley. Following the parade, the Trolley will be making trips around the lake. See the map for the usual Trolley stops. Just remember to leave a tip. The ride is free but a tip is greatly appreciated.
