The Citizens House of Blues Boston is one of the city’s best live music venues, hosting an incredible lineup of artists across all genres, including some of the hottest acts in country music! The venue is located right across from Fenway Park on Lansdowne Street, making it the perfect place for an unforgettable night out. Here’s everything you need to know before heading to your next show at the House of Blues!

• Getting To The Venue

  There are a few different ways you can get to the Citizens House of Blues.

• 🚗 Parking Near House of Blues

  Since the Citizens House of Blues is in the heart of the Fenway area, parking can be tricky, especially on Sox game days. Here are your best options:

  • Lansdowne Garage – directly next the venue, this is the most convenient option.
  • Prudential Center Garage – this is my preferred parking location. It’s a 15 minute walk but often cheaper than closer garages. (They discount rates on Sox gamedays if you show your game ticket, FYI!)
  • Street Parking – there are some metered spots available, but they fill up quickly. Be sure to check signage for restrictions, tickets there are upwards of $100 for illegal parking.
  • SpotHero & ParkWhiz – these are some good apps that you can use to book a space in advance and avoid last-minute stress of not being able to find a spot.

• 🚆 Public Transportation to House of Blues

  You can skip the hassle of parking and take the MBTA instead. The venue is easily accessible by train and bus.

  • Subway (The T) – Take the Green Line (B, C, or D) to Kenmore or Fenway. Both stations are just a short walk from the venue and Fenway Park area.
  • Commuter Rail – The Framingham/Worcester line stops at Lansdowne Station, which is just a few minutes from the venue.
  • Bus – The No. 55 and No. 8 buses have stops near the Fenway area. You should check the MBTA app for live updates.
