CenterFest takes place in downtown Durham, about one mile south of I-85 and just north of the Durham Freeway (NC 147). CenterFest will involve the closing of nearly the entire downtown Loop. Main and Chapel Hill Streets will be closed, as well as Market Street and parts of Parrish. Blockages will be placed at Morgan/Morris, Main/Great Jones, W. Chapel Hill/Ramseur, Main/Corcoran, Parrish/Corcoran, and W. Chapel Hill/Corcoran. Many municipal parking lots surround the CenterFest site, as well as neighborhood street parking. Some lots will charge a special event parking fee while others are free.

Parking for CenterFest
For current information on parking in Downtown Durham, visit the Park Durham website. The Downtown Durham Inc. Parking Map is also a helpful guide. We anticipate that the Durham Centre and Corcoran Street Garages will be charging a $7 special events rate, and that the remaining City of Durham garages will be free. However, all users of city parking decks will still have to pull a ticket to enter/exit.
