Begin the festivities with Friday Family Movie Night in the Square at Memorial City, where you can catch Toy Story 4 for free on the enormous 24'x14′ HDTV from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

CITYCENTRE has some of the District’s favorite shops, restaurants and entertainment, however many first-time and repeat guest aren’t sure where to find the best parking to meet their needs. Here is your Memorial District guide to Parking at CITYCENTRE to make it a little easier.
CITYCENTRE has three parking options: street, garage, and valet. In recent years CITYCENTRE has converted street parking and 1st floor garage parking to metered, leaving70% of the parking free to the public!
Street parking includes all open spaces in front of shops and restaurants in and around the plaza and along the Beltway feeder. Street parking is $2.50 per 30 minutes with a maximum of $25 and can be paid with cash or credit card at meter stations or through the Passport Parking app. First-time users of Passport Parking can get a FREE parking session with discount code 713713. Great news is a portion of all money collected goes to Memorial Assistance Ministries to help local families in need.
CITYCENTRE has four parking garages. These garages offer a mix of paid, reserved, and free spaces. A new electronic guidance system helps guests find a spot more efficiently. The light above a space is green if the space is available, red if it’s unavailable and purple if it is reserved. First-floor parking is available in Garages 1 (Studio Movie Grill), 2 (Brio & Sephora), and 3 (LifeTime Athletic) for $1.50 per 30 minutes with a maximum of $15. In all garages, level 2 and above are free, though some spaces may be reserved for tenants or valet. Garage 5 is attached to the CITYCENTRE FIVE building. Please reference the details breakdown of each garage below and view the CITYCENTRE map for a full layout.
On Friday and Saturday nights when CITYCENTRE is busiest, Garage 3 usually has less vehicle traffic as it’s the easiest to get in and out of, is larger and more open.
Valet parking is available in five designated areas for $8 (hours vary per stand); overnight hotel valet parking is $21 per night. Valet parking is always complimentary for Sewell Cadillac customers.
Still don’t want to navigate the parking garages, the following restaurants validate valet tickets when you patronize their establishment: Zayed’s, The General Public, Eddie V’s, Seasons 52, The Capital Grille, Brio, Radio Milano, and Bowl & Barrel.
