Parking Fees for 2025:
While Tryon International continues to prioritize providing free entertainment and events to families year-round, production costs continue to rise as well. A nominal parking fee at select events will ensure that these free events continue to remain free. For Saturday Night Lights, paid parking (cash or card both accepted) will begin at 4pm. Our guests can continue to expect free kids activities (such as face painting, pony rides, carousel rides, etc.), live music and entertainment, free access to all shopping and dining options, and world-class competition at no charge.
Can I get dropped off?
Yes, anyone wishing to get dropped off instead of paying for parking may be dropped off at the Indoor Complex shuttle stop.
What is the fee?
Parking fees will be posted prior to each event, and a portion of each fee will be donated to a local nonprofit organization.
