Thunder Over Louisville. Plenty of convenient parking is made available the day of the event.

QUESTION: Is tailgating allowed at PARC facilities?

QUESTION: If I am a monthly parker at a PARC facility, where can I park?

Monthly parkers at PARC facilities must plan on parking at their designated facility. However,
reserved and unreserved monthly parking spaces may be limited and occupied by other
patrons in your facility. Only after your facility has filled to capacity will your monthly access
card be honored at another PARC facility. A PARC employee will direct you to the next
available facility; show your access card to the pre-collect attendant to gain access. If you do
not have your monthly access card, you will be required to pay the event rate to park.

vehicle spot. RV parking in the paved designated lot is $200 per spot for the weekend for

Reserved spaces are available for both cars and RVs. Parking spaces will also be available on
Thunder Day on a first-come, first-served basis. Those spaces will fill up quickly.

RVs cannot arrive before 6 p.m. on April 20.

Due to heavy traffic and the difficulty of policing the passes, you may not come and go from
the property after 1 p.m. If you leave the park after that time, you will not be allowed back in
without paying even if you had a spot reserved. You may, of course, arrive at any time during
the day.
The only entry into the property will be through South Clark Boulevard next to the Colgate
