Parking
We recommend walking, biking or taking public transportation to the event if possible. If you are driving, there is a parking lot right at Penn's Landing Great Plaza. It is $20 for the entire day. Turn onto Walnut Street from Columbus Blvd. to access the parking lot. If only staying for a bit, you may want to find metered street parking in Old City. There are also many other parking lots in Old City that may be cheaper. I typed "Parking In Old City" into the google machine for you. Click here to see the list.
