Parking and Transportation

Event attendees are encouraged to make use of public transportation to cut down on congestion and make getting there easier; walking or arriving via bike is encouraged as well, if feasible. For drivers, on-street parking will be available at West Benchmark Road and Lake Street. The parking lot at Avon Elementary will also be open. 

No Plastics or Pets

Man of the Cliff is a plastic-free event in an effort to mitigate waste, preserve resources, and foster environmental protection. This means that beverages will not be available in plastic bottles, although canned options can be purchased, and water-filling stations will be located on-site. Dogs are not allowed either, no matter how good yours looks in a flannel shirt.
