August 20, 2012 – SAN PEDRO, CA – New and more convenient free parking has been added at the Cruise Ship Terminal. Instead of turning right on Harbor Blvd Lobster Festival guests will now proceed straight across Harbor Blvd into the massive Cruise Ship Parking area. The old main lot at 22nd & Sampson Way will still be available as needed. Shuttles will continue to run between both lots to the festival entrance. All lots close at midnight.
“This is a major convenience for our guests, ” said Jim Hall, Lobster Festival producer. “Our research shows that over 85% of our guests come from more than 20 miles away via the 110 Freeway. Being able to utilize the Cruise Ship Parking lot means we can park and move guests to the festival more smoothly than ever before.”
Guests arriving via the 110 Freeway should heed the Cruise Ship Parking signs and take the Harbor Blvd offramp and proceed directly across Harbor and into the Cruise Terminal. Local residents are urged to park at 22nd & Sampson and either walk, ride the red car or take a free shuttle to the Lobster Festival entrance.
