All parking for the event will be in the BCEC South Parking Lot (see map below):
If you are carpooling and want to drop folks off before parking, you will be able to make a quick stop at the North Lobby entrance and then proceed to the South Lot to park. The cost for parking in the South Lot for 2024 will be determined at a later date.
To self-park in the BCEC South Lot, from Summer Street, turn onto East Side Drive and continue straight along the side of the building. At the end of the building, make a right and go down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, turn left and you will see the entrance to the South Parking lot in front of you.
Regular shuttles will transport all guests from the South Lot to the North Lobby entrance.
Note: If you choose to walk from the parking area, the entrance to the BCEC on the Southeast side of the building will be open. (See floor plans above)
