Kern Place has graciously invited Festival visitors to use the area's curbside street parking. We do ask that you not park in restricted zones such as driveways, within 20 feet of a crosswalk, and within 15 feet of fire hydrants. Also, we kindly ask that any trash be carried out or placed in bins before leaving the area.

A 15-minute walk to the park from there will take you through Kern Place's vibrant Cincinnati district. There is a fee to park at the Sun metro garage of $1 per hour. Directions to the garage can be found here:  Sun Metro Glory Road Transfer Center - Google Maps
