Parking: Street parking is either free or metered. Check the street signs to know for certain. If you can't find street parking, there are many nearby parking lots. The Performance Garage recommends two specifically: one a block away at 15th and Spring Garden, and another at 16th and Brandywine. Their costs are in the $8-$10 range, and they might actually be free after 7pm (check all signs). A third nearby lot at 17th between Brandywine and Green is for J.R. Masterman School employees only, till 4pm (doesn't indicate if weekends are included) It may be free on weekends - check all signs to be certain. All three of these lots are marked in green on the map above. Also, by the Art Museum is a parking lot called Eakin's Oval, near the "Middle Eastern Rhythms" workshop. If you can't find street parking, that lot is conveniently located.
