Parking

Parking Information

Due to the high volume of traffic attendees may experience, the Chamber highly recommends carpooling. This will help reduce traffic, time spent parking, and allow attendees plenty of time to enjoy the entire evening’s festivities. If you received a parking pass, please follow the directions on that pass. If you did not receive a parking pass, we recommend parking at Prince Street Garage. *Note: You only receive one pass for every two guests. Additional parking passes are not available.
