Parking at the Colorado Convention Center

On-site parking garage

The Colorado Convention Center operates an on-site parking garage at 700 14th Street. Because of the Convention Center expansion project, on-site capacity is currently reduced, so attendees are encouraged to arrive early or consider nearby garages and public transportation.

Garage access

• From northbound Speer Boulevard: Use the designated right-turn lane before Champa Street.
• From westbound Champa Street: Turn left into the garage entrance.

Current posted parking rates

Parking rates and availability may change, particularly during downtown events. Before traveling, attendees should confirm current details through the Colorado Convention Center parking page.

Nearby public parking options

If the Convention Center garage is full, these downtown garages are within a short walk:

• 1144 Glenarm Place Garage — convenient for the north side of the Convention Center
• Denver Pavilions Garage — near 16th Street and Glenarm Place
• Spire Denver Garage — near Lincoln Street and Champa Street
• Theater District Parking Garage — a good option for visitors arriving from the east or northeast

Availability and pricing at third-party garages can vary significantly based on demand. Encourage attendees to reserve parking in advance when possible and to allow extra time for downtown traffic, garage entry, and walking to the Convention Center.

Helpful parking tips for attendees

• Arrive early. Downtown Denver can be busy during weekday mornings and around major events.
• Use the full address—700 14th Street—in GPS rather than only searching “Colorado Convention Center.”
• Check posted garage hours and rates before entering, especially if parking overnight.
• Do not leave valuables visible in your vehicle.
• Build in walking time. Depending on the garage selected, the Convention Center may be a 5–15 minute walk away.
• Consider carpooling. It reduces parking costs and helps avoid downtown congestion.

For accessibility-related parking, drop-off, or building-access needs, attendees should review the Convention Center’s official visitor information or contact the venue in advance.
