Location

Located in the heart of downtown Bloomington, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater is just blocks away from many downtown attractions and restaurants. The theater is just off the downtown square, at 114 E Kirkwood Avenue.

Parking

Downtown Bloomington is easily accessible on foot; however, public street, lot, and garage parking are all available near the theater. All nearby parking is metered during the week and free on Sundays. Most, but not all, meters accept both coins and credit cards. Bicycle parking racks are located throughout the downtown area and in most downtown parking garages.

The City of Bloomington offers the Parkmobile app, which offers patrons a pay-as-you-go system so that you only pay for the time you are actually parked. Parkmobile supports all major credit cards, can be linked to a mobile wallet, and accepts payments via PayPal.
