Where do I park?
Many parking lots in Downtown LA will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. There is FREE parking at meters on City of LA streets, but of course double check the signs! Better yet, take Metro and get dropped off a block from the start!
PARKING
If you do want to drive, Thanksgiving Day is the best day to drive downtown. Only 20 minutes from the Westside and the Valley (and just about anywhere else). Turkey Trot participants can park The Music Center, located at 135 N. Grand Avenue (between 1st and Temple on Grand).
Parking will cost $10.00.
You must approach the parking garage using the following directions. Failure to follow these directions will result in endless hours of driving in circles and becoming frustrated.
Don’t forget about the closure on the 10 at the South Side of Downtown. Avoid that area!

DO NOT APPROACH VIA CITY STREETS FROM THE SOUTH DUE TO STREET CLOSURES.
After 8:00am or once this lot fills up, vehicles should park at metered parking around DTLA. Street parking is FREE at meters on holidays. Just check out the signs and get that good feeling of not paying at a meter for a day!
