These spaces are located near the Ocean Center Parking Garage and surrounding lots, providing convenient access to both venues. Guests are encouraged to arrive early, as accessible parking is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Assisted Hearing Devices

Assisted Hearing Devices are available for loan at the Peabody Box Office for patrons attending Peabody Auditorium events. Upon arrival, please visit the box office or see an usher to acquire one. To borrow the device, a valid driver’s license or credit card is required as collateral and will be held until the device is returned at the end of the performance.

Sign Language Interpretation

By request, the Peabody Auditorium and Oceanfront Bandshell will provide sign language interpretation services, subject to availability. Requests for ASL interpreters must be placed well in advance of the performance (an absolute minimum of 30 days notice is needed). Please call (386)-671-3472 or email PeabodyAuditorium@daytonabeach.gov to request interpreting services.

Service Animals

Service dogs are welcome inside both the Peabody Auditorium and Oceanfront Bandshell. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a service animal as any dog that is individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability.

Each service animal must remain with its owner and must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered at all times, unless special circumstances exist. Under ADA service dog rules, items such as vests or identification are not required, however this can be a useful tool to signal to the public that your dog is a service dog and therefore is recommended.

Guests bringing in certified service animals may not take up an additional seat unless a ticket has been purchased specifically for the seat.
