Parking Options and Alerts for Cal Performances Events

Finding parking can be a challenge as showtime approaches, so we recommend arriving in Berkeley 30–40 minutes ahead of the event to be in your seat before the curtain rises. Below is a list and map of parking lots near our venues, all equipped for secure credit card payments.

Note: major construction has begun on Bancroft Way near Zellerbach Hall. Lanes may be closed, and street parking and loading zones may be impacted; please plan ahead when travelling to our venues.

Additionally, please be aware that at times, multiple events may occur on the same day or evening at the UCB campus, making parking even scarcer. To stay updated on potential parking conflicts, check the Parking Alerts section below or visit the event page for the latest information.

Greek Theatre Parking

There is limited parking in and around the Greek Theatre. (more information below about drop off and loading zones). 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.

The closet parking structure to the Greek Theatre is located at the Stadium Garage on Gayley Road (#8 on the above map). (Note that while the Foothill Parking structure is close to the venue as well, it requires a steep descent down a hill in order to reach the venue so please gauge accordingly) Other parking structures include the Upper Hearst Structure (#7) at Hearst Avenue and Gayley Road/La Loma Avenue, Lower Hearst Parking lot located at along Hearst Avenue between Euclid Avenue and Scenic Avenue and the Underhill Parking Structure (#6) located along College Avenue between Channing Way and Haste Street.

Disabled parking is available closest at the Stadium Garage next to the Greek on Gayley Road at Stadium Rim Way. There is additional disabled parking at the Upper Hearst parking garage at the corner of Hearst Ave and Gayley Road. Both are on relatively level paths, with Upper Hearst being somewhat longer (two blocks) distance away.

Drop Off/Loading Zone: There is a curbside drop-off area on Gayley Road just north of the Greek Theatre entrance for passengers with mobility disabilities who prefer to minimize the travel distance to the Greek Theatre.

Parking Alerts

Our performances often coincide with sporting or other events on the UC Berkeley campus, making parking especially scarce. Allow plenty of extra time to find parking or consider taking public transit. For Cal Athletics games, most, if not all, University parking lots will be reserved for game patrons, and city-owned lots may have a limited number of spots available. Traffic will be heavy.

No upcoming parking conflicts.

Donor Parking Information

Reserved parking is a benefit available to donors at the $1,000 level and above. To view your current parking benefits, log into your Cal Performances account. Donors may reserve parking online, call 510.642.8653, or email donate@calperformances.org.

To the greatest extent possible, parking spots are reserved in the parking lot or garage closest to the concert venue on the UC Berkeley campus. Please note that all parking lots are managed by UC Berkeley’s Parking and Transportation Department, which requires confirmation of final parking arrangements five business days before each performance. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate new or changed requests within the five-day period and cannot credit your account for unused reservations.
