I've never actually had to pay more than P20 at Festival.

And take note... this is only for prime parking spots. The parking lots by the supermarkets (SM Supermarket and Shopwise), the covered parking area and the parking lots in front of the theaters.

I gladly pay the P20 for theater parking because if you get lucky, you can get a spot right beside Seattles. Very convenient. But Festival still has free parking. The outer parking lots are still free. If you can put up with a short walk (about 100 meters or less) to the entrance, you don't have to pay for parking.

Most of the time, though, we shop at South Supermarket. Absolutely free parking, no matter how long you stay, with a bunch of restos on the ground floor and right beside it. And it's open from 8:30 am, to boot. ;)
