Eastmark’s biggest night of the year is almost here. AwesomeFest 2018 (parade starts at 3:30 p.m. and festival is from 4 to 9 p.m. on April 14) is shaping up to be an epic night of live entertainment, delish eats, spectacular sights, and fabulous neighbors.
As we put the finishing touches on all the event details, we’ve also pulled together a few tips to help make your night even more awesome.
Parking is very limited, so please plan to walk, bike or carpool. A bike corral will be located near the event entry gates along Eastmark Parkway.
Parking will be available along Eastmark Parkway and Inspirian Parkway. ADA parking will be located near the north and south areas of the event.
You’ll want to arrive by 3:30 p.m. to watch the AwesomeFest Parade make its way down Eastmark Parkway from Sequoia Pathfinder Academy to The Eastmark Great Park, and officially kick off AwesomeFest at 4 p.m.
Spectators can find a spot along the southbound side of Eastmark Parkway to cheer on the parade. Please follow the traffic control signs and police officers who will be directing traffic.
Gates open at 4 p.m. There will be two main entrance points:
Box offices will also be located at the entrances if you need to buy tickets.
You won’t want to miss a minute of the AwesomeFest revelry. If you bought tickets in advance, make sure each member of your party brings a printed Eventbrite ticket, or digital version that can be scanned from a phone. This will help the lines move more quickly. Or, get your fast pass wristbands in advance.
Thirteen local food trucks will be whipping up a variety of tasty eats and treats for purchase. Look for wood-fired pizzas, build-your-own cheesesteaks, hearty barbeque, gourmet taters, dressed-up dumplings, flavorsome burritos, and a whole lot more.
Eastmark’s own Handlebar Diner will serve up specialty dishes and drinks.
Three 21+ bar stations will sell wine and craft beers. As always, you need to be 21 or older and have proper identification to purchase alcohol.
You can enjoy Eastmark’s AwesomeFest entertainment and activities with the price of admission: popular bands and performers, roaming acts, games, interactive displays, custom crafts and more.
Bring home a souvenir! Vendors will be onsite selling light-up trinkets and AwesomeFest-branded t-shirts.
Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
Wear what YOU think is awesome. This is the chance to show off your most awesome flair. Break out the sparkles, costumes, crazy hats, feather boas, bright colors, funky shoes, and silly accessories.
Still not sure what to wear? AwesomeFest-branded t-shirts can be purchased in advance or at the event.
Portable restrooms will be located throughout the event site. The restroom structure by The Orange Monster will be a designated family restroom.
The public restroom outside of the Visitors Center will be available for use, however access inside the facility will be restricted to performers and event staff only.
Recycling, and trash stations will be set up throughout the event site. Please help us reduce the amount of garbage sent to a landfill by properly disposing of your waste items.
We hope you have a blast and enjoy every moment of AwesomeFest 2018. We’ll see you there!
