Patrons are asked to park at the Marine Institute and take advantage of the free shuttle service provided. The shuttles will run continuously, on a load and go basis during the event. There is some limited parking available at another Memorial property at 297 Mount Scio Rd, a short walk from the Garden. Please note that there are no sidewalks on Mount Scio Rd., and it is quite dark.
Campus Food Bank
We are delighted to once again support Memorial's Campus Food Bank during the Festival by accepting donations of non-perishable food items on their behalf. Guests visiting Merry & Bright are encouraged to bring along a donation to drop off, as they are able. Please note that we are unable to accept monetary donations for the Campus Food Bank. You can visit their website to find out more information, including the most needed items and other ways to give. Thank you for your support!
