Parking FAQs

Advanced Sales Parking

Advanced reserved parking will be available for weekend or daily purchase in both the General Parking and Premium Parking lots. Advanced sales will end 2 weeks prior to the event to ensure on-time shipping of the vehicle hangtag which will be required for entry into the parking lots. The vehicle hangtag will include directions to the parking areas associated with that pass.

ADA Parking

A limited number of ADA Parking Passes are available for purchase. All vehicles accessing the ADA Parking Lot must have a valid state-issued accessible license plate or placard in addition to your purchased ADA Parking Pass. Any patrons without the proper credentials to the ADA Parking lot will be directed to General Parking. For further information or questions please email access@sonictemplefestival.com.
