Where Can I Park?#
Looking for Parade Parking?
Parking near the parade route can be a bit of a challenge! The parade will travel westbound on Mountain Avenue between Howes Street and Jackson Avenue.
We suggest parking on nearby streets and walking to Mountain Avenue. Or, consider parking in Old Town in one of the parking structures, and walking along Mountain Avenue until you find the perfect viewing spot.
Trying to Get to City Park Pool?
Parking is limited in City Park Pool on the Fourth of July. City Park Pool visitors are encouraged to find parking in nearby neighborhoods and walk to the pool entrance.
Please note, Mulberry Street will be completely closed to vehicle traffic from 5 p.m. to midnight, between Taft Hill Road and Shields Street.
Want to Park For Food Trucks, Live Music, and Fireworks?
Parking in and around the perimeter of City Park will be limited on July 4. It is recommended to park in surrounding neighborhoods and walk into the park.
Handicap-accessible parking will be available in designated parking spots on the south side of Sheldon Lake. To access ADA spots, enter the event zone from eastbound Mulberry Street. Barricades are in place and a staff member will assist you.
Consider riding your bike and parking it on provided bike racks near the corner of Mulberry Street and Sheldon Drive. Or, catch a ride with Transfort - they'll be offering shuttle service to and from City Park all day!
