Directions to the East Street Theatre

108 East Street
Annapolis, MD 21401

Parking

Parking for the theater is easiest at the large well-lit state Calvert Street Garage (State Garage) at 19 St. John's Street, Annapolis, MD 21401, which is open and free of charge from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Monday – Thursday nights and all weekends from 6:00 p.m. Friday night – 6:00 a.m. Monday. (Note: the garage is closed on Monday evenings during Legislative Session.)

In addition to the State Garage, Hillman Garage and Gotts Court Garage are also within walking distance. Visit annapolisparking.com for more information on parking options.

Street parking is not recommended as it is extremely limited near the theater (especially during legislative session, January through April). Most streets with residential parking now require hourly payment (using the Parkmobile app) with a two-hour limit, which will typically not accommodate viewing a theater performance.
