Location & Parking
Pride in the Park is located at:
Ballard Park
485 Main St
Ridgefield, CT
Parking options include the municipal lot between the RVNA (27 Governor Street) and Boys and Girls Club (41 Governor Street) where you can park all day, the lot near Dimitri’s or in the large town municipal lot on Baily Avenue that connects to the lot by the Thrift Shop or in the municipal lot by Yanity Gym. I have been informed by the Ridgefield Parking Authority that they will not be ticketing at these locations so you should be fine to park there for the duration of the event.
Everything you need to know about parking in Ridgefield.
Please Do not park in the CVS lot or the Library/Prospector lot.
