New Haven is a very pedestrian friendly city. One of the main reasons why we chose this city for our festival is that once you arrive you should have no need to take a car or taxi anywhere. The architecture is amazing, and it lends to a sense of vibrancy as you walk down the avenues. There are many neat little stores, art galleries, coffeehouses, pubs, and restaurants to fill your entire weekend. However, for those wanting to have a few more specific ideas here are a few:

| Lighthouse Point Park This delightful public park has a large public beach, a picnic area, playground and a historic lighthouse. One noteworthy feature is its working historic carousel. |

Be sure to check out the Grove Cemetery. Founded in 1797 it is the first chartered burial ground in the United States. The pattern of the cemetery was planned around plots for families rather than random burials, and further separations for the various parishes within New Haven as well as a section for out-of-towners. For some time after it was first opened it was shown with pride to visitors of New Haven.

| Yale University is one of Americas most famous Universities; it is also noted for its incredible Gothic architecture. The brooding gargoyles, sweeping eves, and beautiful courtyards are a must see. In 2005 many pf the festival's attendees had an enjoyable time admiring the grounds. |
