Parking at Thompson’s Point is limited, so we encourage fans to plan ahead before arriving. The only on-site options are privately owned lots that charge a fee. If you’re able to secure a spot, that’s great, but availability is limited and rates may be high.

We recommend exploring other options: Thompson’s Point is adjacent to the Portland Transportation Center, with access to Greater Portland METRO (Route 1 and METRO BREEZ), Concord Coach Lines, and the Amtrak Downeaster. It’s also connected to the Portland Trails system via the Fore River Parkway Trail for those who prefer to walk or bike to the show.
