Granted much of the dragon boat parking will be in the morning. Also, what impact is there when a significant number of parking places are blocked off for market night or other events?

The recreation concept is a positive, I just question the location.
Many of us park in the parking lots and walk to the squares. Blocking off parking places for events that draw lots of people like craft shows, car shows, and markets is only a problem for those who insist on parking a few feet from the square. The square general vicinity is the best place for these things.
