Shuttle Directions

Guests may skip the search for a spot completely by driving to the Catawba County Government Complex at 100 Southwest Blvd. (U.S. 321 Business) and parking on or near the parking deck to catch a free shuttle that will drop off riders in the midst of all the festivities within minutes. Shuttles will run from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and are ideal for guests traveling in large groups or who will enjoy the festival most by limiting walking distances. DNDA and HMA are grateful to Greenway Public Transportation and Abernethy Laurels for again contributing the drivers and busses that make the complementary service possible.DIRECTIONS TO SHUTTLE PICKUP AT CATAWBA COUNTY GOVERNMENT COMPLEX
