Parking will be available in lots along Shoreline Boulevard near the park entrance.
Free shuttle service will be provided from 10:45 a.m.-5 p.m. on a continuous basis.

At the celebration, event goers will learn about the history of the Shoreline Regional Park Community, which Shoreline at Mountain View is a part of, and why it was established as a Special Park District by the state legislature in 1969. They will discover Shoreline's transformation from an auto wrecking yard, a landfill and a hog farm into the recreational and environmental jewel we know and love today. They will also find out about the vision of the Shoreline Community, which will bring forth dynamic, new neighborhoods containing housing, retail establishments, city and educational facilities, and new parks while preserving its natural heritage.
Celebrate Shoreline is sponsored by the City, Shoreline Regional Park Community and Live Nation.
