Visitor & Driver Tips

To maximize convenience during major concerts and weekend festivals at the Camden Waterfront, plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes prior to scheduled start times. Utilizing digital parking apps or pre-paying online can secure your space during high-attendance dates when local surface lots fill rapidly. When leaving major amphitheater events, choosing this location along Federal Street often allows for a significantly smoother and quicker exit onto I-676 and the Ben Franklin Bridge compared to lots located immediately next to the pavilion gates.
