Parking for Walking Disability Plates or Placards

Accessible parking is available free of charge in all City-controlled lots and garages. As Accessible parking within walking distance of Veteran’s Park is extremely limited, those guests with walking disabilities are encouraged to take advantage of the shuttle service provided for the event. All shuttles are ADA compliant and are able to accommodate wheelchairs. 

Shuttle Service

There will be a free shuttle service provided by the Manchester Transit Authority on Saturday and Sunday. The service will shuttle both Chili Cookoff attendees as well as those going to the circus. There are a limited number of parking spaces available within walking distance, so park your vehicle a few blocks away, hop on the shuttle and relax!
