EVENT PARKING

The parking surrounding Smashbox Studios is EXTREMELY limited. Most available spots are reserved for local businesses. The Warner Lot (across from main entrance) is NOT available again this year. Unauthorized cars in the Warner Lot WILL be towed!

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios is able to provide two parking solutions:

1. Free Shuttle Bus Service from the Ince Parking Structure at 9099 Washington Blvd. (above Trader Joe's with entrances off Washington and Culver Blvd). The parking lot is approximately 2.5 blocks from Smashbox studios (see map) and is free for the first two hours and then has a modest hourly rate up to a maximum of $8.00 per day. Free shuttles will run continuously from the front of the parking garage on Washington to the main entrance of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios from four (4) hours prior to the first show until one (1) hour past the completion of the last show each day.
THIS IS THE BEST OPTION AS VALET PARKING IS LIMITED.

***Please allow extra time to accommodate for major road construction project in downtown Culver City***

2. Valet Service will be available from the main entrance at 8538 Warner Drive at a cost of $15 per vehicle. Although many valet parking attendants will be provided, please be patient and expect a reasonable wait time for your car's return. To avoid this wait, please self-park and use the free shuttle bus. Valet service will be available for one (1) hour prior to the first show until one (1) hour past the completion of the last show each day.
