FlatCon

Parking at FlatCon is free. Attendees have two convenient parking options at the
McLean County Fairgrounds.

Main Parking Lot
The large parking lot directly in front of the McLean County Fairgrounds buildings is the primary parking area for FlatCon.
This lot provides easy access to the convention buildings and is the best choice for most attendees.

Covered Parking
Additional covered parking is available just north of the Mini Expo Hall.
The covered parking provides convenient access to the convention area and is a great option when the weather isn't cooperating.

Accessible Parking
Designated accessible parking spaces are available near the McLean County Fairgrounds buildings. Attendees who need accessible parking should look for the marked spaces closest to the building entrances.
