Downtown Parking

Information for Gamut Theatre patrons, volunteers and employees.

Street parking in Zone 9122 in Harrisburg is “pay at the meter” 8am-5pm, Monday through Saturday at $4/hour. Here are some tips we have about how to park downtown without spending a fortune (or spending anything!):

  • “State Employee” designated parking spots are free after 5:30 PM on weeknights, and all day Saturday and Sunday. These spots are located behind the State Capitol and the Forum on Commonwealth Avenue, and under the State Street bridge on the road that connects over to 7th Street. These spots are not controlled by SP+ Parking and are not enforced after regular State work hours.

  • Parking with SP+ special codes:

    1. You can get one free 3-hour parking period on Saturday by using the ParkMobile App and input the code LUVHBG or as the number 588424

    2. You can sign up for smaller increments of parking time through the ParkMobile app, instead of paying directly at the meter.  You can also extend your parking through the app.  More about ParkMobile at us.parkmobile.com/

  • The TransitPark lot at 815 Market Street (located off of Market across from the old Patriot News building) is about a 10 minute walk to Gamut. The rates are $1.50/hour ($3.50 minimum), and $8 for a day. The lot is open for the general public 24 hours, 365 days a year.

  • Harrisburg University’s parking garage (located directly across the street from Gamut) is in the process of being automated to accommodate after hours parking. We will stay current with that information and pass it on to you as we receive it.
