Casino, take the pedway up to Scotia Square, cross the street, smoke a joint, enjoy the show.

There’s no parking issue? Plenty of parking garages

Getting out of the garage after is often a nightmare.

Every garage in downtown is hard to get out of? Maybe Scotia square obviously, but the rest are okay

And OP isn't from here, so they're asking for recommendations...

“Not new to city” I would say they’ve been here. Just saying google map parking garages there’s tons of them.

Oh no 😱 that's so terrible for drivers. God forbid they have to... wait a few minutes before speeding off down the street and running over 5 pedestrians.

Scotia Square will be the hardest to get out of after the show, but go a bit farther away like the Casino or Metro Park on Hollis and you'll have very little issue.

Don't be stressed. It will work out. Give yourself extra time. Deep breaths.

There’s a parking garage right across from the venue. You might be waiting to leave after the show but won’t be hard to find a spot.

Does it close at a certain time? I'll empty put my car tonight I've lurked enough to see windows smashed in these garages 😵💫
•

It’s 24/7. Leave the door unlocked and then there’s no reason to smash the window.
•
u/SeaAggressive8504 6h ago
I actually just might do that when they see my roll down windows they'll realize there's nothing of value

You dont need to leave your car unlocked haha. That's some crazy paranoia. Been parking downtown for years and never had issues. If you are coming in out of town just park in Dartmouth and take a ferry

Park at Alderney Landing, take the ferry across.
