Getting there
There have been significant changes to traffic flow in downtown South Bend. Main Street and Michigan Street, which both used to be one-way streets, now both have two-way traffic. Other construction is not yet complete and stoplights have not been adjusted to the new traffic patterns, so you should allow more travel time than in previous years. The Century Center has a parking lot that will charge $5 for the day. On-street parking in the downtown area should be free on the weekend, and several nearby parking garages might be free if there are no other events on that weekend.
