DOWNTOWN PARKING:
Throughout downtown Tampa, parking is available in various garages and lots. These
garages have a one-time special event parking rate paid upon entry. Please
reference the map below.
Please Note: Parking in the neighborhoods bordering
the parade route is not permitted and Tampa Police Department will
strictly enforce the event parking policies. Be aware, Tampa
Police Department will tow cars which will result in additional
fees and the inconvenience of having to get your car out of impound!
