B) Entrance Gates
- The main entrance to The EX is the West Gate, off of Festival Drive/ Destination Parkway.
- The secondary entrance is on the east side of the park, off of Race Track Road. Note: 2026 is the last year that entry access for The EX will be offered through the East entrance off of Race Track Road. The east entrance will be closed in 2027.
C) Getting Here & Parking
Exhibition Park has two parking lots. Both are serviced with a shuttle vehicle to transport guests to the event gates. Parking all day is just $5 in either lot.
1) The “West/ Main” lot at the top of Festival Drive – just turn north off of Portage Ave. onto Festival Drive and go straight until you see the parking lot. The west event entrance gates are just a short walk from the lot.
2) The “South” lot at the corner of Race Track Road and Stewart Millet Drive – The east event entrance gates are the closest entry point to the event.
NOTE: The parking lot directly outside of the east gates of Exhibition Park is not owned by the Red River Exhibition Association. The price that is charged for parking in that lot during The EX is determined by, and charged by, the owner of that property.
