About this Location

Facility Overview

LM Montclair Parking, LLC operates the premier multi-level parking deck located at 1 Seymour Street in the heart of downtown Montclair, New Jersey. Situated right within the vibrant Seymour Street Arts and Entertainment District and directly abutting the historic Wellmont Theater, this state-of-the-art covered parking garage provides secure, weather-protected vehicle accommodations for arts patrons, local shoppers, diners, and area residents.

Drivers operating oversized commercial cargo vans, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles carrying rooftop cargo boxes should check the posted clearance at the garage portal before entry.

Visitor & Driver Tips

If you are attending an evening performance at The Wellmont Theater, aim to arrive 45 to 60 minutes prior to showtime to beat the surge of incoming event traffic. During major headliner concerts, parking operators may implement a flat-rate event parking fee collected upon entry to expedite flow. Take note of your floor level, elevator bank, and parking stall letter/number to ensure an easy return to your vehicle after your event. If dining locally before an event, park early and enjoy a meal along Bloomfield Avenue or Church Street to avoid peak pre-show vehicle congestion on Seymour Street.
