🌙 Important Information: Parking, Arrival & More

🚗 Parking & Arrival (Refer to Map Below)

Plan Ahead: Please plan your travel early to account for weekday traffic. We recommend arriving at the fairgrounds 20–30 minutes earlier than usual to allow enough time for parking and walking to the facility.

Free Parking: ICN has fully covered all parking fees for the community—no payment is required at the gate.

Follow Directions: Please follow the guidance of Fairgrounds staff and Masjid volunteers. They are here to ensure a smooth experience and will guide you to the correct parking and entry points.

Parking Zones (Access via Wedgewood Ave):

Handicap & Elderly Parking (Lot 2): Paved lot with the shortest, most level path to the facility.
General Parking (Lot 1): This lot is prioritized for those who arrive early.
Later Arrivals Parking (Lot 11): This lot will be used as overflow once Lot 1 reaches capacity.

🚫 Restricted Access: Please note that Wingrove St is closed for this event. Do not park in front of any gates or block vehicle traffic. Vehicles blocking access will be towed at the owner’s expense.

🕌 Entering the Prayer Hall (Expo 3): Please enter via the courtyard behind the statue:

Brothers: Please use the East doors.
Sisters: Please use the North doors.

🗺️ Recommended Routes & Travel Tips

Avoid I-65 Exit 81 (Wedgewood Ave) due to heavy weekday morning backups. We encourage using these alternate routes to reach the Wedgewood Ave entrances:

Coming Southbound (from North Nashville/Downtown): Take I-40 East to Exit 210C (4th Ave S). Turn right (South) onto 4th Ave S / Nolensville Pike, then right onto Wedgewood Ave.
Coming Northbound or from the West (via I-65 N or I-40 E): Take I-440 East to Exit 6 (Nolensville Pike). Turn left (North) onto Nolensville Pike, then left onto Wedgewood Ave.
