Family/friends staying for the Ceremony can park at Fort Mason Center which is adjacent to the Ceremony site. The entrance is at Buchannan Street and Marina Boulevard. Fort Mason Center offers a limited amount of paid parking for a minimal charge, and all funds generated from parking revenue are allocated for the preservation and restoration of this National Historic Landmark. Vehicles can enter the lot at any time. There is a cashier on duty from 8:00 am until midnight every day. The exit gates accept credit or debit cards, so vehicles can exit anytime provided they do not require cashier assistance.

Weekend Parking is very limited near the Ceremony site at Fort Mason and we encourage you to have your friends/family drop you off or utilize public transportation. If you choose to drive your own vehicle to Opening Ceremony, you will need to find parking in a nearby public parking garage or parking lot, or find street parking in the adjacent neighborhood – please be aware of and obey all posted parking restrictions. Public transportation and carpooling is highly encouraged. Participants can take the complimentary shuttles from the Westin St Francis to Opening Ceremony.
