Kentucky Expo Center parking within walking distance of the Highland Festival Grounds. General parking will be available for daily sales on festivals days for a daily fee. Parking is not reserved and your vehicle will be parked based on your arrival time and entrance point into the Kentucky Expo Center parking lots. Visit any of the Entrance Gates at the Kentucky Exposition Center, including Gate 2, Gate 4, Gate 6. It is suggested to arrive early if you’d like to park on-site.

Gold Lot Parking is available to purchase in advance for the weekend or individual festival days. The Gold Lot is the closest available lot to the festival entrance.  Gold parking pass holders will access the Gold Lot via Preston Highway.  Parking in Gold Lot is limited and available while supplies last. Gold Lot parking will be available to purchase when the 2024 lineup is announced. 

Designated parking for fans with disabilities will be available for purchase at the event within Lot A adjacent to South Wing C and the festival grounds. ADA parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. You must have a valid state issued Disabled Person Parking placard, permit or license plate-as well as proof it belongs to you for entry into Lot A. There will be a courtesy ADA shuttle from Lot A to and from the festival entrance.

Motorcycle parking will be the same cost as all General Parking and motorcycles will be parked with all other vehicles based on arrival.

Please note that overnight parking is not permitted and RVs are not permitted in the General or Gold Parking Lots.

Skip the traffic and take transit to Louder Than Life this year! TARC will be joining PARC (Parking Authority of River City) this year to offer a great option for concertgoers headed to Louder Than Life (September 21-24). TARC bus service from downtown to the festivals can save time and money and help advance regional sustainability! Click HERE for more info. 

Fans coming from the offsite parking lots or staying at nearby hotels on Phillips Lane, Crittenden Drive, and Preston Highway are permitted to walk in via any KEC entrance-including Gate 1. Be cautious of vehicle traffic and follow signage and the direction of police and parking staff.

There will be self-service bicycle parking at Louder Than Life across from the main festival entrance. Please be prepared to provide your own bike lock and park at your own risk. Fans arriving via bike can enter KEC at Gate 2, 4 or 6. Fans arriving via “On Demand” transportation can also enter through the same gates and park in this self-park area.

Unfortunately due to security risks, overnight parking outside of the campgrounds are not permitted. All vehicles must exit the parking lots or will be towed if left overnight.

*Please note that all festival parking is sold, controlled, and monitored by KY Expo Center.
