If You Plan To Go Downtown, Here Are Some Tips:
- Arrive early! Traffic and parking will be tough just before the parade start time.
- Take METRORail to avoid the traffic. The parade is near the Main Street Square Station on the Red Line.
- If you drive, I would come in to downtown from the I59/Discovery Green side of Downtown. Park when you see a spot and walk over. (So you have a guide, Discovery Green is approximately 5 blocks from the train tracks on Main Street and 10 blocks from City Hall.)
- According to Rodeo Houston, these are the recommended parking spots: Alley Theater Garage, Lyric Center, 1100 Smith Garage, Theater District Parking, Street Parking, Texas and Smith, Smith and Preston, Smith and Dallas, Smith and Clay, Walker and Main. (But I would still park closer to Discovery Green and walk over… just to avoid the mess!)
