Plan your visit
Use 4014 Walnut Street and check the individual event listing for admission, seating, doors, and runtime. SEPTA buses, Market-Frankford Line service at 40th and Market, and trolley routes serve the area. The venue has no central air conditioning, so summer conditions may be warm.
Accessibility
A ramped event entrance is on the right side toward the rear, reached by the concrete path from Walnut Street. The first floor has an ADA all-gender restroom and the stage has a ramp. There is no elevator; ask staff for a chair at standing events and contact the venue about specific access needs.
