Visitor & Driver Tips

Downtown Visalia enforces posted parking time restrictions (often 2-hour or 3-hour limits during standard business hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays), so always check posted signs upon arrival. If attending an evening dinner, weekend festival, or concert at the Fox Theatre, arrive 20 to 30 minutes before showtime to secure a close stall, as spaces along Acequia Ave fill up quickly on Friday and Saturday evenings.
