There is a parking deck located across Fayetteville Street with an entrance off Wilmington Street just north of Hargett Street. Obviously, street parking is an option if available.
Alexander square parking deck drive in on Wilmington st. Walk out on Fayetteville st.
In have always had great luck with parking on Fayetteville street before 6pm.
Great parking right across street from Wells Fargo connected with Club when you have them stamp card
Lots of street parking in Raleigh. You only during the posted times; largely M-F 9-5. Beyond that most decks charge varied rates by the hour but may be free in the weekend if there isn't an event going on. If I were you I would just get there about 15 minutes earlier and drive around until something appears. I drive a larger vehicle so I try to park by the Museum's which is a little bit more of a walk but much more open parking. The parking lot beside the Museum's is also free on the weekends. Another area that tends to be closer to things is Nash Square. That is street parking all around it. You can also Park on three sides of the Raleigh Convention Center. I go there often enough that I don't care about getting the closest parking spot, as opposed to the easiest.
