Parking for concerts at Merriweather Post Pavilion is generally free for ticket holders. The venue uses multiple parking lots around downtown Columbia during events. Parking attendants direct cars to the nearest available lots as traffic builds before concerts. ADA parking spaces are available in designated areas close to the venue entrances. Even though parking is free, traffic leaving after large concerts can still take a while. Many fans suggest hanging around after the show for a bit instead of rushing directly to the parking lots. Getting there early usually gives you a better parking spot and a smoother experience overall.
