There is a service lot in the area (on your way headed to 95 that will have limited parking for larger vehicles and trailers that might not fit into the parking garages. Parking is also available at the Rusty Scupper parking garage. Passes must be obtained at Exhibitor Registration and are limited on a first come first serve basis.
