Visitor & Driver Tips
Because the lot is relatively small with only 28 spaces, it can fill up quickly during peak hours or local festivals at Olvera Street. We recommend arriving early if you have a scheduled appointment or event. Ensure you verify the current signage for any specific event-day flat rates, which may replace standard hourly tariffs during high-attendance periods. Always double-check that your vehicle is clearly parked within the designated stall markings to avoid any potential parking enforcement issues in this highly regulated district.
