point as you want. You can literally have fireworks falling on you if you want to. There is so much open grass that you can pretty much walk in as late as you want and have plenty of grass to spread out on. The biggest variable is how mobile your group is. If you've got young kids, 2 kids in strollers, a 70 pound cooler and pop-up shade tent you'll want to get there earlier and take advantage of onsite parking. If it's you and your wife and you're both active or have e-scooters, park on the East side of the river somewhere and walk/scoot over. Considering the number of people that show up, you can get out in decent time.
