Welcome to Downtown Boone for Graduation & Mother’s Day Weekend!
We’re so excited to welcome you to downtown Boone during one of the most vibrant weekends of the year! Whether you’re celebrating a graduate, treating Mom to a special day out, or just enjoying the springtime buzz, we’re here to help you navigate the festivities and a little construction with ease.
What to Know:
🚧 Howard Street Revitalization Construction
Great news — construction will pause Thursday evening, May 8 and not resume until Monday, May 12, so there will be no active construction over the weekend! You might even enjoy catching a glimpse of the progress so far it’s an exciting transformation in the works.
🅿️ Where to Park
Parking is available and easy to access:
- Metered spaces along King Street
- King Street Long-Term Lot
- North Depot Street Long Term Lot
- Queen Street Long Term Lot
These lots remain largely unaffected by construction and are just a short stroll from your favorite downtown shops and restaurants.
🚶♀️ Getting Around
Pedestrian access to Howard Street is open and encouraged! You can reach it by:
- Heading down either side of Depot Street
- Using the alleyway between Off the Rack and Alumni Hall
We kindly ask visitors to use extra caution when walking near construction zones and thank you for your patience as we work to make downtown even better.
