Towing Fair Park Dallas TX | Event Day Tow & Roadside

Tow Truck Service Next to Fair Park

Dawson Tow Service is based a short drive from the gates of Fair Park. That makes us a natural call for anyone stuck at or near the park. We know the side streets around Parry Avenue, Robert B. Cullum Blvd and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, which helps when event traffic locks up the main roads.

Fair Park covers about 277 acres and is home to the State Fair of Texas every fall, the Cotton Bowl and a large collection of Art Deco buildings from the 1936 Texas Centennial. On event days, tens of thousands of cars pack the lots and nearby streets.

Event Day Tips

During the State Fair, roads close and traffic is heavy. Write down your lot name and row before you walk in. If you need help, tell dispatch the lot name or gate number. Some event lots limit truck access, so we may need to meet you at the lot entrance. A jump start or lockout can often be done right in your spot, but a full tow may have to wait until traffic clears.

Fair Park Landmarks

Fair Park is home to the Cotton Bowl Stadium, the Hall of State, the Esplanade and the Music Hall at Fair Park. It is also where Big Tex greets fairgoers each fall. Parking lots ring the park, with entrances off Parry Avenue, Robert B. Cullum Blvd, Grand Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The Fair Park DART station on the Green Line sits near the main gate.

Concerts, Games and the State Fair

The biggest events, like the State Fair of Texas, the Red River Showdown and major concerts, close streets and fill lots for hours. Plan for slow traffic before and after events. If your car will not start after an event, stay with it or wait at the lot entrance in a safe spot. We will meet you there when traffic allows.

Tips for Event Parking

Photo your lot sign and row.
Keep your phone charged for the walk back.
Lock valuables out of sight.
Check your battery before long events in the heat.
