You can meet us at 9:30 am in front of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theater on the park grounds, just up the driveway from the park entrance.

Parking:  It is best to get there early so you can get parking closer to the show. 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 northeast corner of the parking lot of Hillandale Shopping Center at 9:00 a.m.:

From New Hampshire Blvd (650), take Powder Mill Rd. to the first entrance on the right and into the lot, then an immediate left and park at the top of the lot, (catty-corner from Unique Thrift Store and opposite from Domino’s):

 1731 Powder Mill Road, Silver Spring, MD 20903
