How to go to Plano AsiaFest
Located centrally in Haggard Park (901 E 15th St, Plano, TX 75074) in downtown Plano, there are several convenient ways to come and enjoy Plano AsiaFest.
Driving
Parking is available free of charge throughout downtown Plano. Parking is available at all parking lots except parking lot #2, which is reserved for authorized personnel.
For visitors with a disabled parking plate or placard, we offer the option to apply for a permit so you may use a very select few number of accessible/disabled parking spots in parking lot #2. If you would like to apply for an accessible spot, please email parking@asianamericanheritage.org with the time of day you'll be attending the festival. Permits will only be issued to cars with plates with the International Symbol of Accessibility or disabled parking placards issued by a U.S. state, Canadian province, or U.S./Canadian territory.
You can also park at two DART nearby Park and Ride stations: Parker Road Station and Bush Turnpike. DART offers free parking at those two locations. The Downtown Plano station on the Red Line is immediately next to Haggard Park. Please see the public transportation section for more information.
