Default Help with parking gate in Carlisle...

Hi all,

Can't remember which gate number is the one where you pay like $10 for the car and $15 per person (not fun field gate). It is either gate# 1 or #3. Then you park your car on either side of the grass strip with the road between you.

Thanks for the help.

That would be Gate #1 but for Fri/Sun only unless your in the Sat Parade through town. Consider Gate #5 for Sat and see Corvettes at Carlisle site map.

I went in Gate 1 last year on a Saturday. The parking on grass was to the right of that gate

They usually don't let non Vettes into the fun field or the on site parking. You will probably parking at somebody's house. People open their yards for parking at $5 or $10 per vehicle depending on how far they are from the entrance.

I show up at noon and park on the west side of the fairgrounds. There is a fire department there taking $10 for a blacktop lot. Next to it is a great family type restaurant. Easy in and easy out.
