If you see the Festival happening, you've gone too far and have missed the central garage. To turn around, save yourself the trouble of one-way street and just make a big circle: stay straight and drive past the Festival. Rhode Island Avenue becomes Baltimore Avenue. Turn right past Franklin's Brewery onto the Alternate Route 1 ramp. Stay straight a quarter mile south and turn right after the gas station onto Charles Armentrout Drive. Then turn right back onto Route 1 (Rhode Island Avenue).
