PARKING INFORMATION:
The Jaycee parking lots for the Fireworks & Air Show open up at 12:00pm on July 3rd and typically fill up around 5:00-6:00pm. Once the parking lots fill up, Kerper Blvd will be closed for incoming traffic. The parking lots will temporarily reopen for 30-minutes following the Air Show to allow people to leave. The parking lots won't reopen until 30-minutes after the Fireworks show to allow for pedestrians to safely walk to their cars.
All parking stalls are standard parking stall size. If you want extra space for a tent/recreation you will need to pay for an additional parking spot. Parking is $20/vehicle. All proceeds help support the cost of the event.
Due to construction, we do not have a hard top parking lot for handicap parking. If you need transport to AY McDonald Park, the Dubuque Jaycees can assist you when you arrive.
PARKING LOT DEPARTURE WARNING:
The Police Department will start releasing cars from the Jaycee parking lots 30 MINUTES AFTER THE FIREWORKS SHOW ENDS to allow pedestrians to exit the event site and get back to their vehicles. Please be patient as we ensure the safety of all our event guests.
The Dubuque Police Department reserves the right to close Kerper Blvd to incoming traffic when the Jaycee parking lots are full, or when the crowd size make it unsafe for vehicle traffic.
