Parking on the street in downtown Ithaca is FREE after 6:00pm and on weekends (when most Spring Writes events happen)! If parking before 6pm on weekdays, signs lead you to payment stations or you can use a parkmobile app.
There are three Parking Garages (open 24/7) close to event locations so you don’t have to search for a street spot, but you do pay at night and weekends.
