FESTIVAL PARKING
This may be the most important page on this website.
Given that we expect a large influx of crowds headed to Cooper’s Landing for BBB Fest, our team has been working hard to make our parking plan seamless. Here are some great options to make your experience a great one!
PAID PARKING + SHUTTLES:
We offer paid parking for $5 a day at a location only 4 minutes from Cooper’s Landing! Simply follow the sign as you head to Cooper’s from Columbia, as our parking lot is right off Smith Hatchery Road. Thanks to our sponsors Joe Machens Ford and The Terrace Retirement Community, we will have FREE SHUTTLES running non-stop during the fest! If you drive, please consider this option first to ensure a smooth logistical operation.
RIDE YOUR BIKE, GET A FREE BISCUIT:
We’re partnering with our friends at Walt’s Bike Shop to incentivize folks to ride their bikes down the Katy Trail to Cooper’s. If you stop at Walt’s Bike Shop starting on September 17th, you can pick up a voucher to receive a FREE biscuit once you arrive on your bike! Don’t think you can make the ride from Columbia? No worries! Hop on the trail at McBaine and enjoy a short, leisurely, six-mile ride to beat the traffic.
For all others, free parking will be available along Smith Hatchery Road. While we do not recommend this, we do have a parking plan in place for folks who wish to take this option. The important thing to note is to PLEASE LISTEN TO STAFF/VOLUNTEERS while parking. Only park where directed; don’t choose your own spot. Our team will help guide the way. Trust the process, listen to directions, and everything will work out great!
HANDICAPPED PARKING
Handicapped parking will be available on-site, near the main entrance.
