Parking
Parking in the area can be difficult and we recommend you park your car in a pay lot while you attend the screenings.

Your best bets are:
The Doolittle Theatre parking lot - entrance at 1623 N. Vine St. (btwn Hollywood and Selma). This parking lot may be full for part of Sunday due to the Hollywood Farmer's Market. Once you park go to the far end of the parking lot and you can exit the lot directly on to Ivar, right around the corner from CineSpace.

The Sunset + Vine parking structure - enter on Sunset. Park all day for $6.

There are other pay lots on Hollywood at Vine and on Cahuenga at Hollywood Blvd. There is also some street parking available (read all posted signs carefully!) On Sunday, during the Farmer's Market please allow extra time for parking.
