People with disabilities may use the “horseshoe” parking area located at the side of the Matthews First Baptist Church, off of Sadie Drive. If those spaces are filled, there are handicapped accessible spaces in our Town public parking areas and at adjoining businesses that are closed during festival hours. Our festival parking attendant can direct you to open spaces.
Free public parking areas are located by the train tracks at North Trade Street and Charles Street. Matthews Station offers parking in front of and behind Town Hall (across from public parking). Parking is also available at many businesses along John and Trade Streets, Matthews Presbyterian Church on John Street and Matthews United Methodist Church on South Trade Street (accessible from Fullwood Lane off N.C. 51).
If you are using GPS, we recommend searching for “Stumptown Park, Matthews, NC” and following the directions to that location.
For Uber/Lyft 211 North Trade Street, Matthews NC is the perfect pick up/drop off address for your driver. This address is a public parking lot near the rail road tracks.
