Because the University of Arizona is on Spring Break, parking in one of the six campus garages will be much easier than when school is in session. 

2 If the garages fill up, try one of the many Zone 1 lots around campus. They’re free on weekends.

3 Don’t park in the nearby neighborhoods. You’ll have to walk farther, and you just might get a ticket.

4 Meters that are covered in blue bags and fire zones are off-limits.

5 Unless you have the proper permit, spots that require service and handicapped permits are off-limits, too.

6 A UA disabled permit is not needed on weekends. A state permit is sufficient to park in spaces for those with disabilities.

For accessible parking and getting around the Tucson Festival of Books park in the Cherry and Tyndall garages. Golf cart shuttle is available to the Mall.

SunTran and the Modern Streetcar are excellent alternatives to driving to the festival.

You can map out where you want to park here if you don't want to park in the campus garages.

Please note: The Second Street Garage is reserved for presenting authors and sponsors; there is no public access to this garage.
