The DC Convention Center is a block away from the ECCC and so ECCC serves as
the central location for information. It is easier to pay and park at a pay
parking lot instead of getting tickets in D.C especially near the ECCC.
There are a couple of parking lots a block away.
Have a safe and happy Festival weekend. Please come out and support the
sports activities.
