🗒 VENUE NOTES


When parking, we recommend allowing extra time, as nearby parking has been reduced due to all the new condos in the area and the fact that we can no longer safely park at Apple Cinemas, or in the Danehy Park lot, the auto shop lots, or along the Epic Ballroom building where it says “Enterprise” or “Fire Dept”. There is parking on Bay State Rd and of course in our lot (first come, first serve).
