Parking & Transportation

All-day paid parking is available in large public parking lots on Taylor Street at the Cal Trans building parking lot across from Bazaar del Mundo. Ample parking is also available at Harney Avenue and Twiggs Street. Both lots are free and open to the public Friday afternoon and all day both Saturday and Sunday. It's a great place to park, as the event begins just across the street!

There are also a number of 2-hour unmetered parking spaces available on the streets of Old Town.

San Diego Avenue will be closed to traffic between Harney Street and Twiggs Avenue during the whole event. Note that San Diego Avenue south from Harney Street will be closed from 5-9pm on Sunday only for the procession and will then be reopened. DOWNLOAD MAP
