MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Tom Lee Park is set to host the Beale Street Music Festival once again. As the event returns to the Downtown area, so does the need to find a parking spot near Tom Lee.
The Downtown Memphis Commission advises to check for increased "event parking" fees, particularly for those who regularly park in the area and may be accustomed to paying a certain price for certain lots.
Additionally, Bird scooters this year reportedly are going to be placed at Tom Lee Park as well as in some surrounding blocks. This means that some attendees will be able to park at spaces typically thought of as farther away from the park and use an electric scooter to reach their destination.
Still, for those looking for a more traditional parking experience, there are the closer and more traditional parking options. Here are some of those spaces, according to the Downtown Memphis Commission's map of the area:
Cash parking:
- 495 Tennessee St.
Memphis, TN 38103 - 563 South Front Street
Memphis, TN 38103 - 232 N Second Street, Memphis, TN 38103
