If for any reason you need to park closer, there are a number of lots available. Nearby locations that have offered up additional public parking for Pride are:

If you use one of these alternative lots, please make sure to arrive at the parade lineup by 10 am. You should be able to find CityWell marchers along the corner of W Main St and N Buchanan Blvd.

There will be volunteers (in pink shirts) with golf carts on hand to help ferry people from the accessibility lots to the Parade and the Festival.
