DOWNTOWN & YBOR CITY PARKING:
Throughout downtown Tampa and Ybor City, parking is available in various garages
and lots. These garages have a one-time special event parking rate
paid upon entry.
Please Note: Parking enforcement in the area
of festivities and the neighborhoods bordering the parade route
will begin on Thursday at 4:00 PM. Parking tickets
will be issued for illegal parking until 7:00 PM on Friday. After
7:00 PM on Friday and until the end of the event, cars will be
towed. In years past, festival-goers have parked
in restricted areas expecting to pay only a fine of $30.00 and
considered that a "parking fee." Be aware that
this year, Tampa Police Department will tow cars which will result
in additional fees and the inconvenience of having to get your
car out of impound!

can hop on-board the TECO Line Streetcar in Ybor City and ride
it into Downtown Tampa. Park your car at the Centro Ybor Parking
Garage or the Palm Avenue Garage. It’s only $1.00 for the
