Parking in Downtown Tempe is easy, with plenty of options nearby. Keep in mind there will be construction and road closures along Mill Avenue in June, so plan a little extra time when heading to Centerpoint Plaza. For the smoothest access to the event, we recommend taking Ash Avenue to Downtown and parking at:

• Centerpoint Parking Garage
• West 6th Parking Garage
• Emerson Parking Garage
• Maple Avenue Lot - Small Surface Lot
• 201 S Ash Garage - A slightly longer walk but free on the weekends!

For real-time availability and the closest options as you arrive, check out Tempe TRiP. The interactive map makes it simple to find parking from your phone or desktop.
