EVENT PARKING

It’s easy to find free two-hour public parking in Carrboro, where you can access convenient parking at 11 public lots all over town. Convenient parking may be found nearby at the Drakeford Library Complex, 203 S. Greensboro St. (access the parking deck via Roberson Street). 

Please remember that Carr Mill Mall is for mall customers and is not a public parking lot. Leaving the mall premises after parking risks towing.  This means that if you plan to start your day at Weaver Street Market and join the People's Parade to Town Hall, you should not park at any Carr Mill Mall lot (including the Weaver Street lot and the Harris Teeter lot).

When in doubt, always park in public lots, and enjoy a hassle-free and relaxed shopping and dining experience in downtown Carrboro.
