Parking
We are a car-free event that encourages you to think about how you get around the city, and as such, we won’t be offering any parking. Please obey local parking laws when finding parking on the side streets, and be respectful of the neighbourhood.
Getting There
TRANSIT
Transit runs very frequently to the festival site from all parts of the Lower Mainland from anywhere served by the TransLink system.
