For a day-long event like this, you may want to use a parking garage. The two closest to the dance hall are the Gateway Garage at 181 High Street and the Spring Street Garage at 45 Spring Street, both of which are within a 10-minute walk.

If you come later, know that on-street parking is free after 6pm around the State Street/West End neighborhood. You may also park at The Fresh Approach Market or The Reiche School on Brackett Street. We recommend saving extra time, as it might take a bit to find a spot.
