Jazz Fest Essentials: Where to park

The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival starts tomorrow and you probably have no idea where to park. First off get there early, you are likely to find on street parking within walking distance (less than a half mile away from the Fairgrounds). Remember the fest lasts from 11 am to 6:30 pm so you'll be walking back right before sunset (if you don't stay to late) so don't park to far away. Of course, if your downtown and don't want to park near the Fairgrounds you could always take the bus or the streetcar. The Gray Line has an official bus to a from the Fairgrounds throughout the fest. Tickets are roundtrip and can be bought with a Jazz Fest ticket. The bus leaves the Steamboat Natchez dock and the Downtown Sheraton Hotel all day. Plus If you want to drive from elsewhere you can get a parking/bus ticket from Marconi Meadows in City Park (this can be bought with a Jazz Fest ticket as well). I've made a map of the parking situation in the new My Maps feature of Google Maps for you to use when you make your plan. FYI: Don't park on the banks of the bayou. The grass is not legal parking and you will get ticketed. All up and down the bayou last year everyone had a bright orange note on their window.
