Vendors, Partners and NFMG will have separate payment kiosks. Please separate your purchases accordingly and pay our separate nonprofit and/or smaller businesses before you leave their shop area.

Parking and Shuttle Service

Parking is at the Alpharetta Community Center, which is in front of The Grove greenspace (175 Roswell Street). Due to the popularity of the event, the lot often fills up quickly. If the parking lot is full, there is overflow parking located at Amana Academy, 285 S. Main Street, Alpharetta, just off Roswell Street, about 3 blocks South of The Grove Parking lot. It is marked on the map on the website.

The City of Alpharetta will provide shuttle service from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. to and from The Grove and overflow parking at Amana Academy. The shuttle runs approximately every 10-15 minutes, but they will take a lunch break.

There will also be a volunteer-monitored Plant Holding location in/near the parking lot at The Grove where you can rest your purchased plants (and other items) while you go to retrieve your car.  Volunteers will help you load your purchases.
