Lensic Performing Arts Center

211 W. San Francisco Street
Santa Fe, NM 87501

Located in downtown Santa Fe just two blocks west of the Plaza, the Lensic opened in 1931 as a vaudeville stage and movie palace. After a major renovation in 2001, the 800-seat theater is now one of Santa Fe’s most lauded venues for live music, dance, and theater.

Paid public parking is available across the street at the Sandoval Municipal Garage. Additionally, metered parking is available throughout the downtown area.

The Lensic is now able to process payment and parking validation for ticket holders who park in the City of Santa Fe’s Sandoval (entrance at 216 West Water St.) or Community Convention Center (119 South Federal Place) parking garages.
