The Wilbur

About this venue

The Wilbur’s exterior is joined by two owner-published performance/interior views. Current guidance identifies larger 14 × 6 × 14-inch bag limits, show-night garage validation and important stair-only access to mezzanine/balcony seating.

Parking

Parking options (opens in a new tab)

Parking At A Glance

Theatre validation applies at the separately operated Washington Street garage.

What to do
The FAQ identifies the 660 Washington Street vehicle entrance and asks visitors to bring their parking ticket to the theatre box office for show-night validation. Confirm current discount, hours and operator terms; the theatre address is 246 Tremont Street.
Best option
Choose a space covering the full evening, carry the garage ticket if seeking validation and check the pedestrian route to the theatre.
Avoid
Do not assume validation means free parking, confuse the garage’s Washington Street entrance with the theatre entrance, or book upstairs seating expecting an elevator.
