Visitor & Driver Tips

If you are attending a major downtown festival, a sold-out show at the Canton Palace Theatre, or a community event at Centennial Plaza, plan to arrive 20 to 30 minutes prior to showtime to secure a convenient space and avoid localized traffic backups along Market Avenue. Always take note of your parking level and nearby stairwell exits upon leaving your vehicle. For extended stays during winter months, covered parking in this garage prevents the hassle of clearing snow and scraping windshield ice before your drive home.
