Buying tickets

Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door on the night of the event, so buy your tickets early! You can pay with cash or check at the Little Art box office. (When you buy tickets online, you just pick them up at the box office Friday night.)

Parking

The Horror Marathon takes place the night before Yellow Spring's semiannual "Street Fair," which means that parking on and around Xenia Avenue will be prohibited for this event.

Your options for parking that are closest to the Little Art are Mills Lawn parking lot and along Walnut St. However, patrons are also welcome to use the John Bryan Center parking lot where the police department is. The Cemetery St. parking lot is also available — it's just a little bit farther away.

All the streets restricted for the Street Fair will be marked stating that cars will not be allowed to park after a certain hour, so just beware of those signs. If your car is parked in a "No Parking" space, it will be towed.
