Mechanics Hall does not have on-site parking, but there are many parking lots and garages within walking distance of the Hall. A limited number of on-street spaces are also available on Main Street and Waldo Street.
The City of Worcester has implemented a ‘pay-by-plate’ and ‘pay-by-phone’ parking system, and many of these spaces are in close proximity to Mechanics Hall. To learn more, view the announcement here: Citywide Parking Conversion.
For a helpful guide to parking in the City of Worcester, visit Worcester Parking (parkworcester.com).
If you're staying the night before, Mechanics Hall is roughly a 7–10 minute walk from the AC Hotel Worcester, where our room block is located.
