There are two convenient ways to reach the Cultural Center, and parking is always free!

From the Village of Cortez, park in the Florida Maritime Museum's parking lot, then look for the signs at the rear of the parking lot. Follow the footpath over the small creek bridge and arrive at the Cultural Center in a matter of three minutes.
Alternately, coming from Anna Maria Island, turn right into the marked gate on Cortez Road, just one block east of the stoplight at 119th St. W., and before you reach the FISH preserve. Park next to the building.
