Transportation & Accommodation

Parking near our venues is limited. We encourage our guests to select accommodations in or near downtown Austin, so it is easy to walk or use Rideshare to access each venue.

If you do bring a vehicle to the Paramount Theatre on Sunday, you can park at the 600 Congress Parking Garage (entrance at 155 W 7th St). Present your parking ticket to the Paramount Staff in the lobby for validation.

There are many great AirBnb options you may want to choose from. But, if you prefer a nearby hotel, we recommend the following, which provide walking access to each venue: The Royal Sonesta hotel (attached to the Paramount Theatre), the Downtown Austin Aloft hotel, or the Hyatt Centric Congress Avenue Austin hotel.
