Locations / Parking

On-street parking is $2.50/hour weekdays and Saturday, 9:00am to 6:00pm. Free after 6:00pm and all day Sunday.

Three parking garages (Seneca Street, Cayuga Street and Green Street) are open 24/7 and are close to event locations so you don’t have to search for a street spot (but they do charge an hourly fee round the clock). Fees vary. The Green Street parking garage is right next to the Ithaca Downtown Conference Center.
