PARKING
Downtown Aurora has ample street parking, public lots, and parking garages within blocks of The Venue. Please click here for a map of parking with detailed information on times and restrictions.
Note that we are located on South Broadway, between Galena and Downer Place.
The Venue no longer recommends that you park in the bank lot across the street. That lot is NOT a public parking lot and your car WILL be towed if you park there during a performance.
