PARKING FOR OVATIONS EVENTS

We recommend that you arrive at least 30 minutes early to allow time to park in the Village and arrive at the theater before show time. 

 

GARAGE PARKING
The easiest place to park, if you don’t mind the short walk, will be in the Village District Rooftop Parking (above the building containing Shake Shack and Starbucks) or the Village District Parking Garage. The max parking rate is only $5.00 (the first two hours are free!). Rooftop Parking is convenient to Shake Shack, Prego, and Starbucks Coffee. The Parking Garage is convenient to Jason’s Deli, D’Amico’s Italian Market Café, Hopdoddy Burger Bar, and The Black Walnut Café.

​

Rooftop Parking can be accessed from Kelvin, between Amherst and University. The Parking Garage has entrances at Kelvin and Amherst, or off Morningside.

 

PREMIER PARKING
Premier Parking may be found along the Village Parkway (and throughout the Village District). Premier Parking is metered 24/7 and is provided by the Village District. Expect to pay $8.00 to $10.00 depending on the length of the show and your dinner plans. Premier Parking is convenient to Prego Italian Restaurant, Le Peep, Thai Village, Shiva, and the Brown Bag Deli. A portion of the fee goes to support SPARK Parks at Poe and Roberts Elementary schools.
