Fantastic Dance Floor
Heated outdoor jam canopies
Jamming
There are lots of great places to jam, both inside and out.
Outdoor spaces are under canopies decorated with festive lights and flower arrangements. Volunteers supply gas heaters for your comfort.
Inside there are several places for jams, some large, some small. One thing to keep in mind while jamming … kindly make sure you’re not competing with a concert or disrupting a workshop.
Parking
When you enter the Latvian Center grounds, the driveway is one-way, clockwise. Continue past the exit drives and the caretaker’s house, and you will see the parking lot in front of the building. Continue around to the back to find additional parking. Since the spaces in back and on the sides are not marked, please park head-in perpendicular to the fence and be thoughtful so the maximum number of people can find parking spots. When you exit, please continue around the building in a clockwise direction.
Parking can be tight, so consider carpooling.
If the parking lot is full, there is plenty of parking in the immediate neighborhood.
Accessibility
The Latvian Center has disabled parking spots, a wheelchair ramp to the main level, and a separate external door with ground-level access to the lower level of the building. If you cannot use stairs and want access to the lower level, ask at the front desk for assistance.
Public Transportation
The light rail station at Northgate is a fairly level walk that takes about 20 minutes.
