If you arrive around 9 a.m. you should be able to park about a block away from Baltimore Ave, off of Edmonston Dr. – e.g. Scott Ave. is good. There is limited parking near the event if you arrive later. Additional parking is located at Meadow Hall Elementary School located at 951 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, MD 20850. A courtesy shuttle will run to/from this location from/to the Glenview Mansion from 10:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Carpool location/time:
Most attendees prefer to drive independently to this show so that they can leave the show whenever they feel like it. However, for those that wish to carpool:
Meet at the new carpool location in the Forest Glen Metro Parking Lot at 9:30 a.m.:
2100 Walsh View Terrace, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
