Most people attending the free Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival next weekend will not be able to park at Blackburn Park, the city announced Monday.
On-site parking will be limited to people who qualify under the Americans with Disabilities Act, according to a statement from the city. All other attendees will need to park at other locations in Brookhaven and take free shuttles to Blackburn Park.
Festival-goers can park and take shuttles from these locations:
• MARTA Brookhaven Rail Station, 4047 Peachtree Road
• Marist School, 3790 Ashford Dunwoody Road
• Montgomery Elementary School, 3995 Ashford Dunwoody Road
• Ashford Green, 4170 Ashford Dunwoody Road
• Murphey Candler Park, 1551 West Nancy Creek Drive
And if you’re willing to take a long walk, you can also walk from the Brookhaven MARTA station.
The city urged drivers to not park in residential and retail areas around Blackburn Park.
“All visitors are welcome, but local parking regulations will be enforced,” Brookhaven said in a statement.
The city also announced the music schedule for the spring festival. The previously announced headliners Smash Mouth will take the stage Saturday at 4:30 p.m., preceded by the Spin Doctors at 3 p.m.
