Nearby Retail & Dining

The Father's Day Car Show is surrounded by some of Boise's dining options! Whether you're sitting down to grab a bite at one of the many restaurants on 8th street, picking up an order to bring it with you, or bringing a picnic into the show, you won't go hungry! Outside food is permitted and picnic tables are available in Cecil D. Andrus Park. The consumption of alcohol in the park or in the streets is still prohibited during the show.

The following businesses are open on Father's Day and are within walking distance of the show.

Getting Here on Show Day

Navigating road closures and crowds can be tricky on Show Day. Please explore the following options for getting to the show, and plan to allow extra time to find parking if you choose to drive in.

Garage Parking

We recommend parking in one of Boise's many downtown parking garages! All ParkBoi garages offer the first hour free! 

On Street Parking

There is metered street parking available throughout Downtown Boise. On-street parking fills up fast, so we recommend opting for a parking garage and leaving the nearby metered spots for those with accessibility concerns if you're able to do so.

Pick-Up/Drop-Off Lot

This year, we are introducing a new Pick-Up/Drop-Off Lot to the show to allow guests who don't want to park to catch a ride! To access the lot, please come East on State Street and take a right into the lot immediately following the Idaho Wheat Building Construction on 9th and State. There will be signs indicating the entrance to the lot.

Once onsite, our attendants will help you find a place to unload passengers with mobility aids, or help you get safely connected with whomever you are picking up.

Please note: There will be no parking permitted in the Pick-Up/Drop-Off Lane. Drivers may temporarily park in a stall while waiting for or loading passengers, but no driver will be permitted to park and leave their vehicle to enter the show.

Accessibility

Accessible On-Street Parking

There are 67 accessible on-street parking spaces available in downtown Boise. They are indicated by a sign and blue paint on the curb.

Any vehicle displaying the accessible plate or placard may park in these spaces without regard to time limits.

Any vehicle displaying the accessible plate or placard may park in any legal space without regard to time limits or accessible space indications.

Accessible Lot Parking

On street parking nearby the show fills up fast, so we've reserved a special lot on 6th and State exclusively for those with accessible parking tags. The lot will be marked on show day with special signage and can be accessed from either State Street or 6th Street.

Father's Day Car Show strives to be accessible and accommodating to all downtown visitors and event attendees. This event provides accessible bathrooms, wheelchair access to a majority of event activities, and ASL interpretation of the award ceremony. Please find event staff at the info booth on Jefferson Street during the event to answer questions or assist with accessibility needs. Every reasonable effort will be made to provide reasonable accommodations. For individual questions about our event accessibility or for advanced accommodation requests related to a disability, please email info@downtownboise.org.
