Directions & Parking

Marcus Performing Arts Center Milwaukee Wisconsin
Our front sidewalk is getting a facelift!

As a part of our Master Campus Plan, we are redoing the pavement in our front sidewalk. This phase one of two with an estimated finish of early fall. Audience members are still able to get into the Box Office for any ticketing needs. 

To get to the Box Office, enter the building on the North side using the door that's facing the intersection of E State St and N Water St. A security guard will be just inside the building to point you the rest of the way. Box Office hours are currently 12 pm - 4 pm.  As a visual aid, check out this Instagram Reel to see where to go.
