City of Huntsville parking options for milestone weekend at VBC

Published on January 2, 2020

The Von Braun Center’s Mars Music Hall will officially open its doors this Friday, January 3, drawing thousands of music fans – and their cars – to downtown Huntsville. In addition to the Mars Music Hall grand opening on Friday, the Von Braun Center will host the Havoc vs. Quad City and Broadway Theater League will present Bandstand.

The City of Huntsville’s parking division reminds Downtown visitors of numerous parking options within a short walking distance of the Von Braun Center, including thousands of parking spaces in City garages to provide for a comfortable experience during wet weather conditions.

“Remember to arrive early – typically at least 30 minutes prior to your event’s start time – and park in the first available surface lot, street parking or garage,” Director of Parking and Public Transit Tommy Brown said.

To accommodate for the milestone weekend, Lot K, located across the street from the U.S. Postal Office on Clinton Avenue, will be opened for VBC event parking, providing an additional 500 spaces.

In addition to City parking, event attendees will have private parking options at nearby businesses as well as parking availability at the Region’s Bank building garage.
