New Traffic Pattern, Additional Option to Expedite Exiting the Park

3 Ways to Exit the Event Following the Fireworks

July 5 Exit Map

Drivers: New Event Exit, Updates to Parking Areas


With fireworks so popular and everyone ready to leave immediately afterward, the Town has revised parking and traffic flow to make getting in and out of Sugg Farm much easier.

On July 5, the Town will temporarily open an additional exit between the main parking area and the adjacent Parks at Bass Lake subdivision. With this new option, traffic can exit through the subdivision to reach N.C. 55 via Teal Lake Drive.

As in past years, two lanes of traffic also will exit Grigsby Avenue. One lane will continue on Grigsby toward Main Street while the other will turn right on Blooming Meadows Drive to reach Stinson Avenue and Bass Lake Road.

For smoother flow, the Town will restrict parking along Grigsby Avenue and sections of Teal Lake Drive while opening up more parking inside Sugg Farm.

Detailed Information for Drivers


Entering the Event

  • Beginning at 6 p.m. Grigsby Avenue near Sugg Farm will become a one-way street with two lanes of travel entering the park.
    • Drivers wishing to park in the ADA accessible lot should use the left lane. Please make sure your tag is displayed on your rearview mirror prior to entering the park so attendants can direct you to the accessible lot.
    • Drivers dropping off festival-goers and immediately leaving the park should use the left lane. Print this flyer or write “DROP OFF” on a sheet of paper, and display the flyer where parking attendants can easily view it. You will be directed to drive to the end of Grigsby, turn the corner near the event field, and then pause to allow festival goers out of your vehicle. You then will continue on, immediately exiting at the southern corner of the park to reach N.C. 55 via Teal Lake Drive.
  • Drivers wishing to exit the event before the fireworks must use the new exit at the southern corner of the park to reach N.C. 55 via Teal Lake Drive.

Parking
