Parking

The Parallel 45 Amphitheatre is located at 357 S Civic Center Drive, Traverse City, MI 49686 on the grounds of Civic Center Park. Entrances can be found on Garfield and Titus Avenues. Please give yourself ample time for traffic and parking.

When you arrive, free parking is available anywhere on Civic Center grounds. Additional street parking is available on Titus Avenue or the surrounding streets.

Guests can also be dropped off at the Amphitheatre entrance for a shorter walk to the Box Office. Just look for the gravel parking lot and P45 signs.

Accessibility

Our theatre has accessible seating for those needing space for a wheelchair or other assistive device. A cement path can be taken from the parking lot to the front of the theater, from an area marked off of Titus Ave or over a small incline over a dirt path from the main entrance.

We have ushers and volunteers on hand to provide additional assistance to those with mobility needs, including the slight slope of our lawn. If you have additional accessibility questions or needs, email us at boxoffice@parallel45.org or call 231-714-4768.
