Traffic/Parking Alert

AFRAM 2025

Friday - Sunday

June 20th - June 22nd

Druid Hill Park will be closed to vehicle traffic Friday, June 20 – Sunday, June 22 for AFRAM, and tow-away zones will be posted along the road closest to the Conservatory.

Park and Conservatory visitors should plan to use public transportation, walk in, or cycle to the park. The Gwynns Falls Parkway entrance to the park will be closed, and we have been told that Conservatory visitors will be allowed access.

Parking permits will be available at the front desk, or you can print one here.

Due to expected large crowds, shifting traffic patterns, and potentially unclear access protocols at park entrances, we recommend that visitors avoid driving to the park during the event.

Directions

The Conservatory is located off I-83, exit 7, near the Maryland Zoo. We are in Druid Hill Park, near the intersection of McCulloh Street and Gwynns Falls Parkway.
