If you have not been there -
Water Hill Music Fest is a unique neighborhood experience, -
neighbors sharing homemade music with passersby - You will not find a food court or beer garden,
or many ways at all to spend money. ---
eat a good lunch, ( bring along a snack ? )...
fill a water bottle and set off to explore.                                                                                         ... Some musicians might ... have some chairs on their lawns,
... carrying a lightweight folding chair or camp stool might be a good idea.
Bathrooms will be available throughout in neighbor's homes,
get a map upon arrival!

If possible - don’t drive.
If you must, park as far from the festival as you can walk. Water Hill is just three blocks from Main Street and parking is free all over downtown on Sundays.

Festival yard signs will be planted in front yards all over the hill indicating sites where resident musicians will be performing on their own front porches or yards.
