 New entry points and off-site parking create a solution for weekend parking congestion. These improvements reflect a new approach to make parking at the Fair a more positive experience with multiple, convenient and lower-cost options,”
Free off-site parking will be available on the weekends in the Green Lot of Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium off of Floyd Street. Open Friday through Sunday, August 16-18 and 23-25, more than 3,000 parking spots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Shuttles sponsored by Miller Transportation and the Louisville Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, will run continuously to bring patrons into the Fair.
The new Five Dollar Lot will be opened adjacent to the Kentucky Exposition Center on the site of the former Executive Inn Hotel. Shuttles will bring fairgoers from the lot to the pedestrian admission gate. This lot will accommodate up to 3,000 vehicles and will be available on a first come, first serve basis during both weekends only of the Fair.
