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.

Pre-book parking for most events with the widget below. Select your event, view recommended parking options, and arrive for your event with confidence!

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. All BJCC lots/garages are CASHLESS. Please have a credit card available for payment.

Additionally, surrounding garages, primarily south of the campus, 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.

Pre-purchase parking is available starting two months prior to the event. Select event parking will be made available earlier as needed.

Pre-purchase parking is available until 1:00PM on event day. This option may remain available until the start of the event depending on other activity around the complex. If parking is not available to pre-purchase online, there will still be on-site parking available at your event.
