Parking info and more!

Hello!

We’re looking forward to seeing you at our Sunshine Week film screening of “Merchants of Doubt” tomorrow night. Here are some details you might be wondering about.

Program

6:15 p.m. — NowKalamazoo staff will start checking in guests in the theater lobby. No reason you can’t order yourself some popcorn or a beverage before this.

6:30 p.m. — We’ll try to have everyone seated in the theater by this time. The NowKalamazoo team will make some opening remarks.

6:40 p.m. — Roll film!

8:26 p.m. — Film ends. NowKalamazoo team will have some closing remarks.

Getting there

KP Cinemas is located at 180 Portage St. in downtown Kalamazoo. Here’s a Google Maps link that will allow you to get directions.

Parking advice

Meters on the Kalamazoo Mall are in effect until 8 p.m. There are two parking garages nearby; for both, the first 90 minutes of parking is free, and the 30 minutes after that would cost you $1. There’s a surface parking lot (i.e. not a garage) nearby as well, and that will run you $3.
