Parking instructions
Attendees are encouraged to use rideshare (Uber/Lyft) to reach the festival. If you prefer to drive, public parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Nearby parking garages include The Highline and South Side Works, both a short walk from East Carson Street. Parking fills quickly on festival nights, so plan to arrive early or use rideshare.
Parking is provided for all staff and vendors at the 13th Street Lot. On arrival, meet at the 12th Street entrance to check in and load in (follow the vendor check-in instructions for arrival times and procedures). After unloading at your booth, move your vehicle to the 13th Street Lot for the duration of the event. When leaving, pull out of the 13th Street Lot and exit through the 12th Street entrance.
