Things to Note about Loessfest:

  • Parking – Parking is available on both sides of the river, including the parking lot just north of Harrah’s Casino and in Harrah’s parking garage. Due to construction, there is no longer parking available or access to the park from the Old Playland Park area off Avenue B, just east of the Great Lawn.
  • All the events are free to attend and seating is first come-first served on the Great Lawn
  • There will be food and confessions available, but you can bring your own coolers with non-alcoholic drinks or water
  • Bring a blanket or lawn chairs
  • For weather cancellations and event updates, check the Loessfest website, Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park’s Facebook page and the Loessfest Twitter account.

    We are going to try to do the run, the block party, the movies and the concerts. As long as the kids are good, we hope to be there 🙂
