Advanced Parking Information
FOR THOSE DRIVING IN EACH DAY: You really want to Reserve Your Parking Place:
The GWCC offers reserve-your-spot parking.
Many of us did
this every year from 2010 to 2013.
"Looking to purchase your parking pass ahead of time? Make sure to check out the link here, click on the Online Parking Permits link and follow the prompts to purchase passes for Big South. There are options for Friday - Sunday with each day purchased individually. If you find you need a refund for parking, please call the Georgia World Congress Center at 404-223-4105."
I recommend that parents do this as soon as you receive the email from me because only so many spaces were made
available to this program. As of Jan 5, BigSouth wasn't an option yet. If you see that we can reserve parking for BigSouth before you receive the email, please let us know.
