The Tempe Festival of the Arts is one of the the oldest and biggest in the Valley. Encompassing nearly five city blocks, the Tempe Festival of the Arts is staged between 3rd Street and University on Mill Avenue. That means that traffic will not flow around the area in the usual fashion.

While many of the streets along Mill Avenue will be closed to through traffic, more than 5,000 public parking spaces will be available in the Mill Avenue District, along with park-and-ride/METRO Light Rail options offering more than 3,000 additional spaces.

Here's a map of Light Rail Stations that indicates which ones are associated with Park-n-Ride lots.
