Getting Here and Parking at the BJCC
We aim to make navigating the BJCC campus simple using clear directions. With various parking options for events, conventions, and meetings, planning ahead ensures a smoother arrival. Since multiple events often occur simultaneously, arrive early to avoid long parking and entry lines.
NEW! Pre-book parking for most events taking place on the BJCC’s campus with the widget below. Select the event you are attending, view recommended parking options, and arrive for your event with confidence! More events coming soon.
Times listed below reflect the time the lot/garage will open. Pre-purchase parking will close at 4 PM the day before your event. Parking will still be available to purchase on-site day of event.
Directions to the BJCC
The Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex is conveniently located 10 minutes from the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport and at the apex of several major interstates. That makes us easily accessible by car, bus, or plane.

DID YOU KNOW?
There are more than 14,500 parking spaces available within a 5-10 minute walk from each venue! The BJCC offers multiple parking lots/garages around the campus (denoted by green flags on the interactive map). All BJCC lots/garages are CASHLESS. Please have a credit card available for payment.
Additionally, surrounding garages, primarily south of the campus (denoted by purple flags on the interactive map), and hundreds of on-street parking spaces are also available. Not all lots will be open for each event, so guests should review the event description and Know Before You Go email for details.
NEW! Pre-purchase your parking for most BJCC events with the widget at the top of this page.
Please note that this is the only place to pre-purchase authorized event parking; we no longer pre-sell parking on Ticketmaster.
Parking lots at the BJCC are changing to a number-based naming system in order to accommodate our recent expansion.
Both number names and color names will be in use while we update campus signage.
