Parking for ACL Weekend One.
The first of two ACL weekends and the start of the heaviest month on the Austin calendar. Zilker fills, the roads around it close, and downtown absorbs everything on either side of the festival day.
About 2.5 miles to Zilker. Shuttle or ride, never a walk
Park at 715 Nueces Street, Austin, TX 78701. Gated entry runs 24 hours, so the car is never on a clock that runs out before you are done.
Where to park for ACL Weekend One
Zilker is not walkable from downtown and we will not pretend it is. What works on an ACL weekend is parking downtown, getting to the festival from downtown, and having somewhere to come back to that is not a field. We run a shuttle on event days; the schedule and the last pickup time are posted before each weekend, and we do not advertise a frequency the crew cannot hold at 11 PM.
Posted rates are starting prices and are subject to change. During citywide events (SXSW, ACL, F1, UT football, and Capitol session weekends) rates may increase. We post current pricing at the lot entrance and on this page.
Other things within walking distance.
Most people park once and do two things. These are the walks from our gate.
