Visitor & Driver Tips
During the Maryland General Assembly legislative session (January through April) and on summer weekends, parking throughout downtown Annapolis fills up rapidly; arriving before mid-morning or reserving your space in advance via digital parking platforms is strongly recommended. For evening concerts at Rams Head On Stage, plan to park at least 45 minutes prior to showtime to ensure a stress-free walk across the street. If visiting on Naval Academy football game days, consider utilizing the Annapolis Circulator to shuttle smoothly across town without losing your prime parking spot.
