Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a rain date?
Yes - in 2010 the rain date is Monday, July 5 (Rhythm & Booms is never held on July 4th). However, we will do everything we can to get the show in on Saturday, July 3, even if we have to wait out a few showers.
I'm coming from out of town; I need directions to Warner Park.
Here are maps of Warner Park provided by
Google Maps and
MapQuest from which you can get directions.
Is there handicapped parking?
Yes, please enter Warner Park from the Northport Drive entrance - handicapped parking is available until the handicapped spaces are filled. We have an adequate number of handicapped parking spaces, but don't wait too late in the day. There is also handicapped seating (and h'cap accessible bathrooms) right near the Warner Park shelter house - see the
map of Warner Park
Can I park my RV in Warner Park?
Sorry, No - but RV parking will be available (park early to be assured a spot) for a fee at Northside Town Center, which is directly across Sherman Avenue from Warner Park. For RV parking information

Do you charge a fee to watch the fireworks?
