permitted inside Centrals parking lot. We must remember you will be in a
residential neighborhood and it will be on a Sunday. We ask that you
respectfully test all sound equipment on a low frequency. If this rule
is not adhered to you will be asked to leave.
Once parties are at
Central, the drivers of the drop-off vehicles should then make their way
to Seaside Park and park at the baseball diamonds - 508 Waldemere Ave,
