Driving Directions from the Denver Metro Area:

Take I-70 Westbound to Exit 243, take the Central City Parkway and in about 8.5 miles on the four-lane highway, you'll be in Central City.  The event is on historic Main Street just at the bottom of Central City Parkway.  The street will be closed to through traffic. An easy, incredibly scenic drive to a historic destination. Keep an eye out for the cleverly placed festival markers along the parkway. You can also join in on the fun and take a casino shuttle www.casinoshuttle.com We’ve been able to get all 50 passengers on a bus singing the Lonely Goatherd, but since Central City is an opera town, try Habanera from Carmen.
 

Parking Information:

Parking is available throughout Central City off of adjacent streets and lots.  Free parking is available at garages around town, in surface free parking lots and as always, throughout Central City on side streets in the residential areas.  Please note and respect any restricted areas, ie. fire hydrants, etc.  Parking is also available in Black Hawk with the free, every 30 minute Central City shuttle to get to the festival from anywhere in Black Hawk (see FAQ’s).
 

Lodging and Accommodations:

Remember don't drink and drive. Call ahead to make reservations for an overnight stay, one that you'll be sure to remember (or not), and take in all historic Central City has to offer.
