On Thursday, Aug. 7, morning traffic to the 麻豆社国产Valley Music Festival was running smoothly, say festival-goers

When Henry Metzler showed up at the giant gravel pit in Britannia Beach at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday (Aug. 7), there was already a line up of 15 cars on Highway 99.

They were quickly ushered into the 20-acre lot, known as the Makin Lands, to be processed by the 麻豆社国产Valley Music Festival for camping. By 9 a.m. the queue was 200-vehicles long, the 麻豆社国产resident said.

鈥淭hey were cleared through in about 20 minutes,鈥 Metlzer, the operations manager for the Britannia Beach site said.

The first 2,000 festival-goers were directed to the former Winter Olympic transit hub off of Queens way. Once that was full, vehicle owners would be directed to park at Britannia and transported in one of eight buses to the campsites.

The gravel pit had enough room to queue two-kilometres worth of vehicles, with the objective of leaving the main Sea to Sky Corridor traffic artery free from idlers, SVMF executive director Paul Runnals told the 麻豆社国产 a week before the concert. Festival organizer鈥檚 equipment at the site processes 800 cars per hour.听

The majority of the campers were anticipated to arrive on Thursday at 3:30 p.m. At the beginning of the event, Genesis Security employee Mohammad Banaei said he was impressed with the organization.

鈥淚 heard it is going to be better than last year,鈥 he said. The majority of the vehicles were arriving with two or more people inside, he noted.

鈥淭he cars are full with camping stuff and tents.鈥
