Parking

There is limited parking around the Greek Theatre. Please plan accordingly to allow for the time necessary to find parking, as well as the time it may take to walk the necessary
distance to the Greek Theatre.

All lots are controlled and operated by UC Berkeley Parking & Traffic, and prices vary. Please note that most lots do not open to the general public for concert parking until 5:00pm. The most convenient parking structure to the Greek Theatre is located at Hearst Avenue and Gayley Road/ La Loma Avenue.
