Special Event Parking

Special Event Parking

Large events will affect parking availability in certain lots/areas, and our guide and Parking Impact Calendar (below) can help drivers identify and plan for those impacts before coming to campus. Parking for Mondavi performances, football games, and many other events can be purchased in advance via the ParkMobile reservation system, at a cost savings over day-of purchases.

Permits are required to park on campus Monday - Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and on weekends when event attendants are present.  Event rates may be in effect for parking lots/structures adjacent to the venue, during which time hourly and reduced affiliate rates will not be available via ParkMobile.

  • WEEKDAY EVENTS:  For events held Monday through Friday, UC Davis staff, faculty and students may park at the affiliate rate through ParkMobile. Level Rate Parking Permits (LRPP) and payments made through the app earlier in the day will be honored. Retirees with a valid Retiree (RT) permit and attendees with a DMV-issued disabled person’s parking placard/license plate may park at no charge.
  • WEEKEND EVENTS:  For events held Saturday or Sunday, attendees must pay the event rate in effect within the lots/structures adjacent to the venue, as indicated by signage at the entrance. Retirees with a valid Retiree (RT) permit and attendees with a DMV-issued disabled person’s parking placard/license plate may park at no charge.  If attendants and/or event rate pricing signage are not present, all attendees may park at no charge.

Event Services for Campus Departments

You may use this option in conjunction with conference permits when the department picks up the permit cost for guests, or elect to have the attendant(s) sell permits to guests as they arrive.

    The department will be charged $16/per hour per attendant (plus one additional hour per attendant for preparation and completion)
