Whether you're looking for an evening of entertainment or a chance to explore your creative side, the MAC Box Office makes it easy to connect with the best events our community has to offer—while supporting local artists, performers, and cultural organizations.

NOTE:

All MAC Box office tickets can be purchased online or in person at the McMillan Arts Centre Box Office at 133 McMillan Street in Parksville, British Columbia (on Vancouver Island)
