Getting here and finding a place to park

Its best to come to the Flower Show early! Here is the general information if you are driving and need to park your vehicle in Providence Downtown. If you need driving directions, view the How To Get Here page for door-to-door directions.

Meters

In addition to more than 40 parking lots and garages, downtown Providence has over 1,100 on-street parking spaces. The cost is $0.25/15min ($1/hr), and the meters are in effect from Monday-Saturday, 8am-6pm. Parking is FREE all other times. Most streets have meters, with the exceptions of Memorial Drive and Kennedy Plaza. Certain streets (Empire, Green, Claverick, Weybosset, Broadway) feature multi-space meters which require the display of a receipt on the dashboard. Instructions are posted on the meters. Many, though not all, of the multi-space meters accept Visa and Mastercard.

Garage & Lots

The Rhode Island Convention Center offers a $10.00 parking charge for events. Please contact the Parking Garage directly (401-458-6338) for the latest event parking charges at the Rhode Island Convention Center. Most downtown lots maintain a consistent event parking charge.
