The Vidalia Onion Festival runs Saturday and Sunday, and city officials have released a parking and traffic map to help attendees find their way in.

Getting there: Which route you take depends on what part of the festival you plan to attend:

  • Airshow parking: take McNatt Street
  • Carnival and Arts and Crafts: use Vidalia Sweet Onion Drive
  • Prepaid Premium Parking: use Pete Phillips Drive
  • All-day exit: follow the orange route

What’s important: Airshow parking is separate from carnival and arts and crafts parking, so attendees should know their destination before they arrive.
