parking tips for DAMIANO DAVID at The Fillmore Detroit (Detroit MI 11/30)

hey guys, figured i'd share a quick post for the damiano david show on 11/30, since parking downtown can honestly be a nightmare, especially near the fillmore. 7:30 pm start time means the area will be busy, even on a sunday, so plan ahead.

my best tip, which seriously changed my life for fillmore shows, is to look into prked. it's an app where people rent out their private driveways or empty garages right next to the venue . you can find spots way cheaper than the lots, and you get a guaranteed spot without circling or sitting in traffic trying to get into the big garages . it lets you skip all the woodward avenue congestion and walk straight over.

for the more traditional approach, the fillmore itself doesn't own any parking, but they recommend a few nearby options . your safest bet is to pre-book a spot through a service like parkwhiz or spothero, since the prices can jump a lot on the day of the show . official-area garages and lots: the comerica garage (50 w. montcalm st.) is super close and a standard choice . there are tons of surface lots right around elizabeth street and columbia street that are a super short walk, like 61 e. elizabeth st. lot or 117 w. columbia st. lot . other garages like the grand circus underground garage (88 e. adams ave.) are slightly further but sometimes a little cheaper . book early for the best rate you can find, i've seen spots go from $20 to way over $40 .

street parking and hacks: since the show is on a sunday, the metered street parking is generally free, which is a huge bonus for the 11/30 show . if you're feeling lucky, check elizabeth street or columbia street a few blocks out, but you need to read every sign carefully . detroit has implemented new residential parking zones in areas like cass park and brush park which restrict street parking to permit holders after 5:00 pm seven days a week . if you park in one of these zones, you will get a huge ticket or towed, so look for the permit signs. a popular detroit hack is parking at the mgm grand detroit casino . the parking is usually free, and it’s a quick 10-minute walk back to the fillmore . if you don't mind the walk, it saves a lot of money and avoids the traffic mess right after the show.

hope this helps and you have an awesome time at the show.
