Budweiser Stage Parking

The Budweiser Stage, which is located in Toronto, Canada, is an excellent venue with top notch facilities. It is located where the Ontario Place Forum was located formerly. The amphitheatre has been host to some of the most exclusive concerts and events in the past.

Normally, guests attending a show at the Budweiser Stage have access to a limited amount of first-come, first-served parking lots. At most shows, the number of spaces is extremely limited. As such, the venue itself, and many previous visitors, recommend parking in the nearby Exhibition Place or Liberty Village areas and making the ten-minute walk to the venue. It’s best to reserve your space through apps like SpotHero.

As of 2024, large-scale construction work means Ontario Place parking is even more limited than usual. Only accessible spots are currently available. Usually, Toronto traffic and construction work means that you can expect delays when driving to shows. Public transportation is highly recommended, when possible.

General Parking

PLEASE NOTE: Parking at the Budweiser Stage is very limited and is first come first serve. It is possible to purchase tickets at the Ontario Place parking lots at a rate of $20 per event (spaces are limited).
