PARKING AT THE FAIR
Free parking is available along the streets surrounding the fairgrounds. However, it can be hard to find a spot during busy times. There are four paid parking lots that are open to the public. These lots are administered by the Tyler Lions Club and cost $3.00 (cash only) to park.
The East Texas State Fair strongly recommends carpooling or taking an Uber/Lyft to the Drop-Off Lane.
North Lots:
GREEN Lot - On Front St. across from Harvey Convention Center ($3.00)
ORANGE Lot - On Front St. across from Harvey Convention Center ($3.00)
South Lots:
RED Lot - On Lyons Ave. in front of Rose Stadium ($3.00)
PURPLE Lot - On Houston St. in front of Mike Carter Field ($3.00)
Handicap Parking is available on Houston Street along the Rose Garden fence-line and the South Entrance in the Rose Stadium Parking Lot.
