Why do we sell wristbands?
There are a few reasons. This helps to identify who is 21 years and older.  This also helps pay for the event.  The money helps to fund next year's event, and is rolled over to each following year.  Your contribution helps make this event possible. 

Where do we park?
As with most large events, parking can be somewhat of a challenge.  We encourage you to find parking downtown and use our trail systems to walk to the event if possible.  Please remember parking is prohibited on sections of Broadway, 3rd St E, 3rd St. W, Main St E, and Main St W.   Limited parking on Jorgenson and Oak St.  SW Transit is offering free shuttle service on Saturday from 5pm-11pm and from Noon - 4:00pm for the Sunday parade.  Click the blue button above for more info.  Handicap/disability parking is available Friday night and Saturday in the Post Office Parking Lot. You must have a valid State parking permit visible.  

What if it rains?
This is a rain or shine event.  Our bands will play as long as they can.  You can always bring your party under the Lions Beer Tent or into one of the local bars and restaurants to stay dry.  

Where are the garage sales located?
Due to a growing Carver and using our volunteer resources wisely, we no longer be log addresses for the garage sales.  Please get your signs out to help promote your sale.  We list the overall sale in our advertising as Thursday - Saturday.  Happy selling!
