Answer
Parking depends on which welcome location is active—downtown sites use municipal lots and metered streets near the Inlet, while midtown booths tie to Coastal Highway lots. Read posted time limits before you walk in for a ten-minute map pickup. Event weekends stack the same lots used for Air Show and fireworks viewing.
