Update #1 - 6 days ago
As MC Fest begins tonight we are providing an overview of parking options that we hope aids in the flow of traffic and distribution of parking across our campus.
The driveway at all hours and all days of the week is oneway, flowing from Old Eastern Ave to Eastern Avenue.
Please do not park along the driveway as this parking will impede emergency vehicles ability to access our campus.
On Campus Parking Options:
Parking on campus is available during MC Fest in the areas highlighted below. They include, the back lot by the rectory and lower school office, two rows closest to the soccer field, marked spaces in the grass off of the driveway, and the large lot in between Eastern Ave and the soccer field. Additional Street Parking is available in the neighborhood behind the high school, Hopkins Landing Dr. across Old Eastern Ave, and along Old Eastern Ave. Please be considerate of our neighbors and their driveways.
Renaissance Park:
All visiting teams have been directed to Park on Friday in Renaissance Park. There is ample parking for sporting events around the Rec Center. Parking Areas are highlighted in the map below. These lots can be accessed via 99 Stemmers Run Rd. Essex, MD 21221
The Commodore
A neighborhood banquet hall, just .3 miles (~7 minute walk) has also offered to provide overflow space for parking if needed (Insert Address). While we do not anticipate this being a need, we hope MC FEST grows to require this additional space on Friday Night! Address: 1909 Old Eastern Ave. 21221
