Event parking is available in multiple locations on the UofM Campus.
Only general parking is free. There is a fee for parking garages. Participants and attendees are responsible for any parking fines that they may incur for improper parking.
There are three (3) small general parking lots on the east side of Zach Curlin Street (Lots 50, 51, and 5).
There is a paid parking garage attached to the University Center. Enter via Zach Curlin Street.
There is a large general parking lot (South Lot 20) on the south side of Southern Ave. There are crosswalks and a bridge that go over the railroad tracks.
Please note: The parking garage south of Southern Ave is not for visitors. You will only be able to park in the general parking lot on the south side of Southern Ave (Lot 20).
There is a large general parking lot on the north side of Central Ave (Lot 44) that will be accessible via Central Ave and Poplar Ave, but be advised that this lot may be crowded.
Access a comprehensive campus parking map here.
You can drop students off on Walker Ave, the street just north of the railroad tracks. Dropping students off as close as possible to the Alumni Mall and University Center (UC), our event venue, would likely be best. Buses can park/stage and wait in South Lot 20 (or on Park Ave Campus in Lot 71 if space is available) after dropping off students. If you have questions about bus parking, please email flfair@memphis.edu.
