PLEASE NOTE - There is parking directly across the street from the convention center. BUT....since this is Gatlinburg....expect to pay about $5 for parking.

If I'm not badly mistaken, this is also on the same weekend as the Pigeon Forge Rod Run. Traffic will be much worse than usual. Anybody coming may want to plan accordingly.
