Providence Performing Arts Center Parking

Metered street parking is available on the streets around the Theatre, with curb drop-off located directly in front of the doors. There are also several parking lots within close distance of the Providence Performing Arts Center, listed below. Please aim to arrive around half an hour before the start time of your performance, allowing plenty of time for travel, traffic, finding a parking space, walking to the venue and time for visiting the restroom and purchasing refreshments prior to the performance.
