Parking for Non-Registered Parade Participants

As the Westin Hotel parking is for registered guests, we highly encourage Parade Participants who will not be staying at the Westin to utilize the ample public parking available in uptown Charlotte which is close to all the Parade Events.

Single Trailer Parking

There are 75 spaces that have been reserved for single car trailers located at the Central Parking Lot located at 615 S. Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC. This parking area is for single trailers ONLY (tow vehicles to be parked at hotel/public lots) and each parking space is 17 feet deep.

This lot will be controlled by our Parking Staff and all parking will be supervised due to the space limitations. Please do not attempt to park yourself. Additionally you will need to contact Chuck Twilley at cetga@yahoo.com and get on the list to utilize this lot.

If you need to arrive prior to Friday, June 27th you can park in this lot, however there is a daily charge per the rates posted by Central Parking which you will be responsible for.

The location of this lot is shown on the map below - the Single Trailer Parking is shown in the lower left quadrant and the Westin Hotel is located in the lower right quadrant as noted by the yellow push pin. There will be 24 hour security at the Single Trailer Parking lot but the owner is responsible for his/her vehicle/ trailer/ etc. There will be Parking Volunteers on-site to provide assistance.

Multi Car Trailers and Rigs

Parade participants bringing multi car trailers and/or large rigs can use the Lowes Motor Speedway (LMS) outside track parking. LMS is an approximate 17 miles/20 minute drive from the Westin Hotel north of Charlotte via I-85N. Participants utilizing the LMS parking area will need to provide their own transportation to their hotel.

Once the specific parking area is confirmed with LMS, it will be posted on the website. As well, LMS officials will be able to provide directions to the designated parking area as well.

To assist you in familiarizing yourself with LMS, a hyperlink has been provided below that will link you to the LMS Visitors Guide website.
