Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Street parking and nearby paid lots/ramps; event-dependent

What to do
The operator describes free street parking on weekends and after 5 p.m. on weekdays, subject to posted restrictions. Nearby paid options include the Washington Street M&T lot and Augspurger Ramp at 362 Pearl Street; check current prices and opening hours.
Best option
Choose an available permitted street space or nearby operating lot/ramp for Shea’s 710 at 710 Main Street. Allow time to walk and pass screening. MusicalFare shuttle arrangements apply only to selected performances; confirm your specific date before relying on one.
Avoid
Avoid treating street parking as universally free, assuming a restaurant valet offer applies to every ticket, or relying on a shuttle for every performance. Check street signs, the garage’s late exit access and the correct 710 entrance.
