PARKING: Horton Plaza (only a couple of blocks from there) offer three hours free parking with validation. Validation is free. Simply insert your parking ticket in any of the various parking validation kiosks located throughout Horton Plaza.

Caution: Each minute after three hours is very expensive. Consider arriving early and seeking-out free parking on the streets (which are far and few between) or simply purchase all-day parking at various parking lots in the Gaslamp Quarter. ($17-$20), car-pool and split the cost, if you plan on attending the festival longer than three hours, as most attendees do. But the easiest and least expensive way to do the San Diego Black Film Festival is to consider taking the bus or Trolley.

From I-8 West, take 163 South, continue on 10th Avenue, make a right on F Street (F Street runs into parking facility at mall). From North County or Los Angeles area, take I-5 South to downtown, exit on 10th Avenue. Make a right on F Street (F Street runs into parking facility at mall). From Escondido, Riverside, San Bernardino areas, take I-15 North, 163 South. Continue to F Street (right).  F Street runs into parking facility at mall). Once at the mall, simply walk to 5th& G Street.
