🚗 Parking Tips for Restaurant Week
With App State graduation behind us and no classes in session, parking downtown should be much easier to navigate during Restaurant Week! We recommend using the King Street Lot, North Depot Street Lot, or Queen Street Lot—these long-term lots allow all-day parking. Just grab a receipt from the pay station and display it on your dash. Metered spaces along King Street and surrounding areas are also a great option for quick stops (just remember there’s a two-hour limit).

🎟️ Free Parking Passes are also available for the week, but quantities are limited! If you’d like one, please contact Lane Moody at 828-268-6283.
