We anticipate a large turnout for this event. Due to property development and circumstances outside of our control, the overflow parking lot is no longer available to Hardywood guests. We encourage using ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft, or carpooling.
Prohibited Vehicle Movement:
To ensure the safety of our guests, select zones in the Hardywood parking lot will be temporarily closed from 6 PM to 6:15 PM due to the drone show, and all vehicle movement in these areas will be suspended. In the event of an unscheduled drone landing, safety zones have been established where people or moving vehicles cannot be present during the show. On the day of the event, we will have signage to let guests know if they are in an impacted parking zone.
