Location & Parking
The event will take place at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, located at 600 Town Center Dr, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. There will be directional signage as you approach the parking area.
PARKING AT SEGERSTROM – parking validations will be picked up at check in. You must pick up a validation to avoid a $15 parking cost.
Parking at the Segerstrom Center’s Center Tower Parking Structure is the closest and most convenient place to park. Their lot can be accessed from either Town Center Drive via Bristol or Park Center Drive via Sunflower (see the black star on map below), and the walk from the structure to the event site is very short.
As you enter from those streets you will see a large circular fountain, you may also drop anyone off here before you park if you would like (see the blue star on map).
This is the parking location we most recommend. parking validations will be picked up at check in. You must pick up a validation to avoid a $15 parking cost.
