There is paid parking at movietowne. You buy a ticket at the box office for the days you need… $[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]] per day.

Honestly, your best bet is to try and find a parking spot a bit further out and then take a taxi or shuttle in.

Wondering if i can get some ride share taxi. Will have to know in advance if they working those days.

I'm certain they'll be available, but Carnival traffic combined with the fact that this time of the year the demand for that service greatly exceeds its supply renders it somewhat unreliable.

Didn't see the savannah in that list.
But there has had free parking everytime i've gone since the 90's. time didn't matter. from Carnival Friday to Ash Wednesday.

the issues with rideshare is where they picking you up. with all the roads blocked off it go be stress and if you in that sun all day no driver aint go want a smelly man with paint and glitter and probably drunk in their car which is at risk of the passenger vomiting and so forth and then the driver have to clean that all for a lil $100 - $200. best you arrange a padna to drive your car and come pick you up after.

that's what we did on monday- couzin picked up my car on wrightson rd and brought it back after 6. tuesday my dad dropped us took my car but somehow could not start it so his neighbor picked us up by the stadium- took 90 mins plus just to get past it though in that traffic.

i didnt think of the savannah but that would have been a long walk from socadrome to reach the car- we had also made arrangements with my old school as a relative works there but ended up not needing it.

[redmanjp]

but i think since we paying we money that the bands can have some kinda shuttle service for masqueraders to at least some car parks where they announce it in advance so u can make arrangements
