Alternatively, you may park on the street if you’re lucky enough to find a vacant spot. Free two-hour parking is available on E. Exchange Ave. from 8 AM to 6 PM. The number of spaces is limited, so it’s almost impossible to find one during peak hours or before events. Arrive early, and please read the signs carefully to dodge parking citations.
