If you don't know Old New Castle, take 95 south from Wilmington and get off at Route 141 toward New Castle. At the intersection of 141 and 273, turn left (there is a large First Baptist Church on the right). Less than a mile, you turn right on Delaware Street (immediately after you go over some railroad tracks and a there's a Walgreens on the left). This is the main street to downtown.

At 5th Street, you can turn right and pull into the New Castle United Methodist Church parking lot -- we have this for volunteers.
At 3rd Street you are now in the main town square -- it will be obvious. You are performing on the front porch of the Old Court House (the large colonial building on the left). Park there and set up. If it is raining, you will perform inside the Old Court House. 

Tell the ticket counter you are with the Music School of Delaware performers and Julie will get you wristbands/brochures for admission for the rest of the festival.  This is free for us!
