Parking at Paramount Theatre on Columbia Street
Paramount Theatre is at 642 Columbia Street in Downtown, near Quayside. The venue does not have its own parking lot, so drivers need to use a nearby paid lot or a metered street space instead (stgpresents.org). This makes choosing a car park before setting out more practical than relying on venue parking.
Metered street parking is available around the theatre, with payment applying after 8pm and on Sundays (stgpresents.org). The operator lists nearby pay lots as the main alternative to street parking, but does not identify a venue-run capacity or opening schedule (stgpresents.org).

Event Pressure and Street Parking Around Downtown
Show nights can make the surrounding streets harder to use because the venue does not provide an on-site lot, leaving drivers to share nearby paid facilities and metered spaces (stgpresents.org).
Street parking rules around the site include metered parking after 8pm and on Sundays (stgpresents.org). Those periods can affect evening and weekend visits, so a driver leaving a car during a performance should account for the applicable meter requirement rather than treating the street as unrestricted parking.
Pay Lots and Street Alternatives Near the Theatre
The nearby paid-lot approach is the principal alternative to parking at the site itself. The operator confirms that several pay lots serve the theatre area, alongside metered street parking (stgpresents.org). A driver can therefore compare a dedicated lot with a street space based on walking distance and the planned length of the visit.
The operator also identifies metered street parking as an option, with payment applying after 8pm and on Sundays (stgpresents.org). No free theatre parking is identified in the local directions information, so the named Parksy spaces and the operator's pay lots are the clearest choices for a planned visit.
