DuSable Harbor has introduced a new pre-paid parking system. On-site payment is no longer acceptedcash and credit cards will NOT be accepted at the gate.

To park at DuSable Harbor, you must reserve and pay for your parking in advance by clicking the link below. At the entrance, a QR code will be required for entry, and failing to have it ready will cause significant delays.

  • The lot has only one lane in and out. Any vehicle arriving without a pre-paid QR code will hold up traffic behind them, which can lead to major delays and impact the on-time departure of your event — guests may even risk missing the boat.
