🅿️ PARKING

• Main Lot: The Port’s main parking lot fills quickly—especially for popular bands.
• Overflow Lot: If the main lot is full, use the overflow lot just east of the main entrance on Seaport Blvd.
• How to Enter: Instead of turning left into the main lot, make a soft diagonal left just before the median and go through the gate. (Yes, it feels like you’re heading into oncoming traffic!)
• Walking Route: After parking, walk back out to Seaport Blvd to get to the dock.
