Parking and Traffic

Widmer Wines has graciously offered us the use of some of their land to park cars during the festival. As you come into the village on Route 21 South, Lake Niagara Lane is a right hand turn and signs will direct you to the lot. Parking is not allowed on the shoulder of Lake Niagara Lane so the horse and carriage rides from the winery can get through the vineyards. Parking is $5 per vehicle. Parking lot is staffed by volunteers of Hospeace House. A portion of the proceeds for parking are donated to Hospeace House on County Road 33. Hospeace House is a special caring place for the terminally ill clients and their families who come to stay there. It is a 4 bed approved facility and the Naples Rotary and Historical Society are proud to help out with this donation for their operating expenses. If we have a rainy weekend and the lot needs to be shut down, parking is no longer allowed anywhere on Widmer property for festival goers. There is also on street parking and some churches and businesses also sell parking at their facility. Only the Widmer Parking benefits the Hospeace House. There is a shuttle bus that runs from Widmer to the festival grounds, or you may choose to walk the two blocks to the official festival grounds. Shuttle services are free of charge. The High School lot off Academy street on the North side of the High School is reserved for handicapped parking. You must have the appropriate permits to park there.
Vendor parking is provided one block Northeast of the Festival grounds at the corner of East Street and Ontario Street (turn at the Mobil Station/Arrow Mart and parking is at the end of the street). You must display a vendor pass to park there or you will be towed.
Traffic into our village gets a little hectic at festival time with so many visitors and only one thoroughfare in and out of the primary area. If you plan on coming to the festival it is wise to get into the village before 11 AM to avoid traffic jams. Then you can park at Widmers walk or take the shuttle to the grounds and enjoy your day.
Directions: Naples Village is located on State Route 21 which doubles as Main Street in the Village. We are approximately 16 miles South of Canandaigua and 9 miles South of Bristol Mountain. Memorial Town Hall is just north of the central business district and Naples High School is directly across the street. Nearest cross streets are Monier St. and Academy Lane.
