Parking

Limited parking is available first-come, first served starting 90 minutes prior to the time of the performance at the Minnesota Opera parking lot located across the street from the Luminary Arts Center. Parking is $5 — credit card and cash payments are accepted.

For information about additional parking options and directions, please visit:

Please allow ample time as lot parking has been filling to capacity well before show time.

In addition to typical busy North Loop parking activity, the Luminary’s next-door neighbor, ACME Comedy Club, may be hosting an event on the date of your performance. 

In the Itasca Building lot, utilizing QR codes and Text-to-Pay options will allow you to skip the line at the outside pay station. Look for signage throughout the lot and near the pay station for directions.
