Parking & Street Closures

Downtown Parking Tips

Arrive early in downtown Indianapolis to give yourself plenty of time to find parking. Several parking facilities will be open for event parking. Please keep in mind that due to street closings, not all routes into the various parking locations will be available.

Downtown Indianapolis has more than 73,000 parking spaces! Find parking options here.
Plan your route ahead of time and carpool if possible. Prepare to park away from the event site.
Enter downtown from the side on which you plan to park and park facing the direction you intend to depart.
Plan to use a parking garage or lot. Metered parking is limited around special event areas.
