The festival itself in principle is great, the entertainment was wonderful. There seemed to be lack of parking at venues which added to having to pay for parking. As well, as Copperlight in Stratford is beautiful, there is no signage on the church to say it is Copperlight. As well there was no signage to say outside to indicate it was part of Nashville Take Over and no signage where to enter. If you parked behind and walked up between the buildings, there was a sign saying to enter off of Waterloo St, but the caterers were BBQ ing at that entrance and people had to circle back to find an enterance. Friday evening at Grayson Mills, again wonderful venue with limited paid parking, too crowded in top floor and ceiling fans there but not turned on. As well, couldn't even purchase a cup or bottle of water, the bar staff said they didn't have any. Not everyone is there to drink, diabetics, nursing mom's, minor's and people who just don't drink should always have an option. There was also a lady walking around with a cut on her nose , apparently a sign fell and hit her in the nose and no first aid was offered, volunteers were directed to take her to the caterers in hopes they would have a bandaid. I think that even a well planned event needs professional organization, designated people for specific aspects of the event. And limit ticket sales to be realistic about what each venue can hold.
