Kalamazoo Inc and Central City Parking have implemented a new parking policy this year and it includes special event parking whereby during special events downtown, they will be charging for parking. The hours and rules vary, so please plan accordingly. No funds from these charges support Irish Fest in any manner.

Please consult their website (central-city.net) for more information on parking restrictions. Priority parking ($5) is available on Water Street. Ramp parking is available at the Arcadia Creek Ramp on Kalamazoo Avenue and Eleanor Street. On street meter parking is free after 4 p.m. and there is free side-street parking north of Kalamazoo Avenue.

Please be careful and watch for the no-parking/towing enforced signage, they will diligently tow your vehicle if parked in the wrong places.
