Rain or shine, this Saturday, August 3, is National Mustard Day — here in Middleton and all across the United States and beyond.

We recommend early arrivals so you can get the closest parking. You can usually find parking on Terrace Avenue (both sides of Parmenter Street). There is also a free public lot at the east end of Terrace Avenue, a short walk to the Mustard Museum.

The MIDDLETON TROLLEY will be running so you can find plenty of parking around Middleton and take the Trolley to the Mustard Day events from any of nine locations. There is ample parking at all of the Trolley stops; we recommend Greenway Station (near the Hilton Garden Inn), on Greenway Boulevard (at the Fairfield Inn), the Residence Inn, and any of the other Trolley stop locations. For detailed trolley information, go to visitmiddleton.com/trolley

Actually, why not arrive well before the official opening to secure parking and then grab breakfast at the Hubbard Avenue Diner (next to the Mustard Museum)?

Festivities in Middleton begin at 9:30 when the POUPON U Accordion Band takes the stage. At 10:30, the Red Hot Horn Dawgs are on, followed by three great “Blast From The Past” bands: Speed Trap, City Electric, and Chaser.
