TRAFFIC AND PARKING
Directions to Westlake
Marching Festival –
Westlake High School is located on the west side of Austin, Texas just off of
Loop 360 (aka Hwy 360) at 4100 Westbank Drive. The light for Westbank Drive is
the third south of FM 2244 (Bee Cave Road) and the first northwest of Barton
Creek Mall off Loop 1, the turn will be marked with signs. You are advised
not to use Bee Cave Road (FM2244), which is slow and crowded through the
Westlake area.
PIT EQUIPMENT VEHICLES:
Only equipment trucks and trailers, NOT BUSES,
should be brought down Camp Craft Road, a narrow winding street, to the stadium
at gate F.
They may be asked to relocate soon after your performance.
If you
carry horns, uniforms, hats or other gear your band needs for warm-up in the
same equipment vehicle, please have that vehicle lead your buses into
gate B
for unloading before moving to the Pit area (gate F) near the stadium.
It would be a good idea to have the pit equipment loaded in first so it doesn’t
have to be unloaded with the band gear.
BUSES:
All band
buses
should arrive through
gate B
(or gate A if so directed), which is the first traffic light on Westbank Drive
from either Loop 360 or Bee Cave Road (FM 2244). Band students will unload at
the entrance near
gate D
before moving to your warm-up area.
In the
morning, buses for all AAA and AAAA bands will be directed to park in the
NGC/tennis lot across Westbank Drive from
gate C.
It will be very crowded from noon on and we cannot allow private vehicles into
this lot before 3:00.
The
AAAAA bands and others returning in the afternoon or evening will be parked in
the FAF lot through
gate E
after unloading.
SPECTATOR PARKING:
Parking
in the immediate vicinity of the Stadium is severely restricted. Spectators can
park in the large Shriner lot, which is the first left on Westbank Drive from
Loop 360. Please allow 15 - 20 minutes to get into the stadium from here.
Beginning at noon we will open overflow parking at Valley View Elementary, 1201
Loop 360 S., which is about a half mile north of the Westlake HS campus. Turn
east off Loop 360 at the light marked Lost Creek Boulevard and loop back to the
first school parking areas.
A Free Shuttle
will begin at noon with stops at the stadium entry, the Shriner lot and the
Valley View overflow lot. The Shuttle will run every fifteen minutes until
11:00 pm.
At 3:00
pm we will open the NGC/tennis lot across from gate C to spectators. Allow 10 –
15 minutes to walk around the school to get into the stadium from here.
HANDICAP PARKING:
There are plenty of reserved handicap spaces right at the stadium entry. Feel
free to come down Camp Craft Road and through gate G.
CAMP CRAFT ROAD will be
restricted to Pit equipment vehicles, Handicap parkers and others with permitted
vehicle access to the stadium. Please do not obstruct traffic by parking
on this narrow lane or the adjoining residential streets.
ALL DRIVERS
- Please obey the instructions of our orange vested traffic managers and the
deputies from the Travis County Sheriff’s Department who are helping with
security in the parking areas and traffic flow.

directors can call David Taylor, Parking & Traffic captain, at 512/329-0422 or
