Parking and Drop-Off
The Outdoor Midway of Maker Faire Detroit fills up the Henry Ford Museum parking lot, so for the weekend of July 27-28 there are a few parking alternatives. All parking and shuttles during Maker Faire Detroit are free.
Village Road Lots
Parking in the Village Road lots across from Greenfield Village is available during the weekend. Please note that these lots fill up quickly each morning. If you are coming to Maker Faire Detroit at lunchtime and after, your best bet for parking are the lots off Oakwood or the off-site shuttle.
Oakwood Boulevard Lots
Parking is available directly across from and next to Maker Faire Detroit on Oakwood Boulevard in the Ford Motor Company lots. Please follow the signs and adhere to the instructions of The Henry Ford staff and the Dearborn Police Department.
Expanded parking for the physically challenged is located near the IMAX Theatre entrance and at the Beech Street entrance off of Oakwood Boulevard.
Shuttle
Our Maker Faire Detroit partners at the University of Michigan-Dearborn are providing off-site parking at the U-M Dearborn Fairlane Center Campus. The campus is at 19000 Hubbard Dr. in Dearborn. (Please note that this is not the main campus).
Free shuttles will operate from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on both days of Maker Faire Detroit. The Henry Ford attendants will be there to greet you. The shuttle drop-off and pick-up at The Henry Ford is in front of Henry Ford Museum’s Clocktower.
