Before You Go: What You Need to Know for Your Visit to The Lincoln Center

As we kick off our 2026-27 LC LIVE season, we’re excited to welcome you to The Lincoln Center! Here are a few helpful things to know before you arrive so you can spend less time worrying about the details and more time enjoying the show.

When to Arrive
The Lincoln Center lobby opens at least one hour before showtime, giving you plenty of time to find your seats, grab a drink or snack and settle in. Theatre seating begins 30 minutes before the performance.

Getting Here
The Lincoln Center is located at 417 W. Magnolia St. in Fort Collins, on the northwest corner of Mulberry and Meldrum streets. Taking MAX? The Lincoln Center is just two short blocks west of the Mulberry stop along Transfort’s MAX bus route. Click here for schedules and more information.

Parking
Public parking is available in The Lincoln Center lot at the corner of Mulberry and Meldrum streets, as well as in the Mulberry Pool parking lot just west of The Lincoln Center. More than 500 parking spaces are available north of Mulberry Street, all within a two-block walk of the Center. Click here for a parking map and additional directions.

Please note that parking lots east of The Lincoln Center that are marked NO PARKING are strictly enforced. Vehicles parked in violation may be towed.

Grab a Drink Before the Show
The Lincoln Center bars open one hour before showtime and offer a variety of beverages, including wine, beer, cocktails, soda and coffee. Best of all, drinks purchased at our bars can be taken into the theatre.

Want to skip the intermission line? Pre-order your drinks before the show, and they’ll be ready for you when you come out at intermission. Just ask at any open Lincoln Center bar the night of your show. Bars accept cash and major credit cards.

Snacks, Anyone?
Our bar concessionaire offers a selection of snacks before each performance and during intermission. While drinks are welcome in the theatre, we ask that you enjoy your snacks in the lobby.

Making dinner plans? You’re in luck: More than 50 restaurants are located within a one-mile radius of The Lincoln Center.

Enjoy the Gallery
Before the show begins, stop by the Art Gallery to explore the latest exhibition. Gallery hours are Wednesdays and Fridays from 1-6 p.m. and before most performances.

During the Performance
Please silence personal devices, including cell phones, watches and other electronics, before the performance begins. Camera and video use is prohibited during performances unless otherwise stated.

Don’t Forget Your Digital Program
Our performance programs are digital and easy to access from your mobile device. You can access the digital program by scanning the QR code available at the performance.

We’ll Remind You!
We know show dates can be hard to remember when you purchase tickets months in advance. That’s why we’ll send you an email reminder a few days before your upcoming performance with helpful details.

We can’t wait to welcome you to The Lincoln Center!
