Notes From Historic Manassas:

The Parking Garage will not be available for parking for safety reasons. Parking will be available in all street parking outside of the footprint (see map above) and the Commuter Parking lot, located on Prince William Street.

This is a public, outdoor event. No alcohol or open grills. Though we love pets, with thousands of people expected to attend and the loud noise from the fireworks, it is best to leave your pets at home.
