About this Location

Facility Overview

The Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center, located at 925 4th Avenue in the heart of downtown Huntington, WV, does not operate its own dedicated car park or tour bus facility. Visitors and event attendees are encouraged to utilize various public parking options available in the immediate surrounding blocks. While there is no direct parking for the venue, the downtown area features a mix of metered street parking and multi-level public parking garages that provide convenient access for passenger vehicles.
