While in the end, my group and I ended up enjoying ourselves... there were so many things wrong with just trying to get in. For starters, WHY was only one parking lot entrance open for the amphitheatre with how many people were trying to get in to the event? No communication about parking beforehand or anything. Additionally, there was nobody out to help direct traffic. There were so many near accidents and back-ups on one-lane roads that it took us an hour just to park. Absolutely ridiculous. And on another note... my poor mother was also very disappointed because she really wanted to see CeCe Winans and planned our entire commute so that we could make it to the event on time, but alas, she missed seeing CeCe because of how terrible the parking situation was.
Additionally... a lot of us had to walk a long distance from our parking spaces to the actual venue. I even saw patrons with canes walking as well. We had to walk along streets with no sidewalks, too. Please consider either partnering with local organizations or providing golf cart drivers to help with transporting.
But aside from all of that, we did enjoy the artists we actually managed to see. Kierra Sheard was INCREDIBLE and such a moment, along with Pastor Mike, Mr. Talk Box, Deitrick Haddon, DOE, and others. And the event hosts were wonderful too with their personalities in-between acts.
