As the World Cup approaches, Canalside is gearing up to host a large crowd of fans, who will be gathering to watch the game on the big screen. With the event taking place on a federal holiday weekend, many fans are wondering where to park, and whether parking will be free.
According to City of Buffalo officials, parking will not be free, but there will be several options available, including lots and garages in the Downtown Buffalo area. The Canalside parking lot will be open, as well as the Main Street garage and the Delaware Avenue lot. Buffalo residents can also take advantage of the city's NFTA bus system, which will be running on a regular schedule. South Buffalo residents may want to consider parking in one of the city's outer lots and taking the bus to Canalside, to avoid traffic and congestion.
As the big game approaches, fans are advised to arrive early, as parking is expected to fill up quickly. The City of Buffalo is also encouraging fans to carpool or use ride-sharing services, to reduce traffic and parking demand. Looking ahead, the World Cup event will take place on June 19, and fans can expect a fun and festive atmosphere, with food, drinks, and activities available throughout the day.
