Parking

Every year we hear that parking is a struggle and we completely understand. 10,000+ people (and vehicles) are trying to park around a small portion of the city.

Handicap parking is available but limited. Send us a note on our Contact Us page for details.

The parking lots in the park area along Parkside Drive are reserved for festival operations. We know your gear is heavy, but so are truckloads of beer, band equipment, etc!

Large vehicles (RVs, busses, etc) can pick up and drop off passengers on Parkside Drive, but must park at Exhibition Park.

Carpool to the lake if you can, to reduce traffic volumes… it makes a huge difference! Think about it, we could cut vehicle traffic in HALF by hopping in with a friend or teammate.

Do not park in the back alleys in the residential zone. This is a bylaw, safety, and security issue. Theft from vehicles is higher in back alleys because of the reduced visibility. We have volunteers and barricades to help you stay out of alleys. Please be kind to our volunteers, it’s not their fault.

If you must park in the residential zone, please be courteous to the residents and local traffic, and be cognisant of safe distances between your vehicle and driveways, intersections, crosswalks, fire hydrants, etc.

Lethbridge Police Service and Lethbridge Bylaw Enforcement officers will be ticketing and towing vehicles in violation of parking bylaws.

Parking is available and FREE at the Exhibition North Lot (South Lot on Saturday Morning)
