About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of historic downtown Annapolis, 100 Cathedral St Parking (located at 100c Cathedral Street) offers a convenient, open-air surface parking solution managed by Parking Management Company (PMC). Positioned immediately adjacent to the vibrant West Street corridor and Church Circle, this ground-level facility features paved, marked stalls configured for effortless self-parking. Because the facility is entirely uncovered, it features no vertical overhead clearance restrictions, making it exceptionally well-suited not only for standard passenger cars and sedans, but also for full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, commercial vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers that cannot enter low-clearance downtown parking garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

This car park puts motorists within steps of Annapolis's top dining, cultural, and historic destinations. It is widely celebrated as one of the closest and most convenient parking areas for live entertainment and downtown outings:

Rams Head On Stage & Tavern: Located just a 1-to-2-minute walk (less than 300 feet away), making it the premier parking choice for evening concerts, comedy shows, and dining.
Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum: Situated just a 1-minute walk (around 350 feet) on Franklin Street.
West Street Arts & Entertainment District: A 2-minute walk to popular restaurants, craft pubs, and galleries along inner West Street.

Maryland State House & State Circle: Reachable within an easy 6-to-8-minute walk (0.3 miles), ideal for state government employees, attorneys, and civic visitors.
Annapolis City Dock & Waterfront ("Ego Alley"): A pleasant 10-minute stroll (0.5 miles) down Main Street leading directly to harbor views, waterfront dining, and harbor boat tours.
Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium & US Naval Academy: A brief drive or trolley ride away, positioning visitors within easy transit distance of midshipman parades and gameday festivities.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicular ingress and egress to the lot are located directly off Cathedral Street between West Street and Franklin Street. Because downtown Annapolis features a historic network of narrow streets and one-way directional paths, approaching via West Street or Southgate Avenue provides a straightforward approach. Exiting after events is quick compared to multi-level garages, avoiding prolonged departure delays and tight spiral ramp congestion.

For regional connectivity, the lot is located just moments from Rowe Boulevard (MD-70), providing a direct, signal-managed corridor to US-50 / US-301 (John Hanson Highway) and Interstate 97, granting fast routes to Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Visitors looking to explore the harbor area without walking can hop on the free Downtown Annapolis Circulator / Magenta Shuttle, which picks up regularly along the West Street corridor and connects seamlessly to City Dock and Park Place.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because of its intimate footprint and close proximity to Rams Head On Stage, this lot tends to fill up quickly on weekend evenings and major concert nights. Drivers are strongly encouraged to reserve a guaranteed space in advance through SpotHero or arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes prior to scheduled showtimes. When paying on-site via PMC Pay, ensure your license plate details and state code are entered accurately, as parking enforcement downtown relies on automated plate audits. Finally, remember that Cathedral Street is a relatively quiet one-way link; program GPS navigation directly to 100 Cathedral Street to avoid missing the entrance turn from West Street.
