We’re excited to kick off the 2026 Mentor Rocks summer concert season on Tuesday, June 2nd! As we prepare for another fantastic lineup of free concerts at the Amphitheater, we want to ensure everyone has a safe and stress-free experience. To help make your visit as smooth as possible, here’s everything you need to know about parking options and important restrictions for the season.
WHERE TO PARK
Parking is AVAILABLE at the in the Civic Center Park expansion lot (just east of the Ice Arena), Mentor Municipal Center, Mentor Senior Center, Mentor Fire Station #5, Mentor Police Department, and Mentor High School.
Over 2,700 paved parking spaces are available on city and school owned lots within a five-minute walk from the Amphitheater. Additional parking is also available at the Laketran Park & Ride location on Market Street.
Attendees are advised of the intermittent closure of the Mentor High School lot and drive adjacent to the football stadium for paving. Work is expected to be completed by July 3rd.
HANDICAPPED PARKING
Handicapped parking is located in the main Municipal Center lot as well as on the eastern portion of the grounds. If you require assistance, please seek the attention of a staff member.
NO PARKING
Please observe all NO PARKING signs. Parking is prohibited on the grass along the bike path side of Munson Road from the Civic Center Park expansion lot to the Police Station. Parking is also prohibited around intersections and along medians where heavy foot traffic occurs. Parked cars create visual barriers which reduce reaction time should a pedestrian or vehicle unexpectedly appear in the roadway. NO PARKING signs are posted around the Civic Center complex for the safety of pedestrians as well as motorists. Be advised that your car may be ticketed or towed if parked in a “No Parking” zone.
Parking is also prohibited at the University Hospitals Brunner Sanden Deitrick Wellness Center out of respect for patients seeking treatment, staff, and members of the wellness center.
Your cooperation with these parking guidelines helps keep our concerts safe, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for joining us at Mentor Rocks and we look forward to seeing you at the Amphitheater for another summer of great music!
