We warn you, however, that there will not be any parking available on Church or First Street, so please find a place to park in town. PARKING There is no parking at Johnson’s Beach during the festival, so we have found that many folks park throughout Guerneville - please adhere to all local signs. Additional parking is also available at the nearby Korbel Winery, but there will not be shuttle service this year, so make plans accordingly.
