Parking

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.  

Zach Curlin Street

There are three (3) small general parking lots on the east side of Zach Curlin Street.  

There is a paid parking garage attached to the University Center (across from Mitchel Hall, the location of the event).  Enter via Zach Curlin Street.  

Southern Avenue

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. 

Central Avenue

Please note: The circled section of Central Avenue on the north section of the map will be closed for the Central to the Arts Festival. There is a large general parking lot on the north side of Central Ave that will be accessible via Poplar Ave, but be advised that this lot may be crowded or unavailable.

Access a comprehensive campus parking map here. 

Buses

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 is most likely the best place.  Alumni Mall is between the University Center (UC) and Mitchell Hall (MI), our event venue. Buses can park/stage and wait in South Lot 20 or on Park Ave Campus in Lot 71 after dropping off students. If you have questions about bus parking, please email flfair@memphis.edu.
