Parking

Parking

Parking is usually difficult to find near curtain time. Please plan to arrive in Berkeley 30-40 minutes prior to an event to ensure that you are in your seat before the curtain rises.

And occasionally, two or more events occur on the same day or evening on the UCB campus which can make finding a parking space even more challenging. Please see Parking Alerts below or the Patron information section of a specific event page for updates on known possible parking conflicts.

The following is a suggested list of parking lots near our venues:

1. Martin Luther King Student Union Garage
Bancroft Way near Telegraph Avenue, under Zellerbach Hall
