Getting Here
The festival does not provide parking for attendees, but there are plenty of ways to get to Union Park. We encourage you to get here using one of the following options!
- Train: The Ashland stop on the Green and Pink lines is right at the northwest corner of the park. There is an accessible entrance.
- Bus: The Ashland #9 bus runs north-south and stops on the western edge of Union Park. The Madison #20 bus runs east-west and stops just south of the park; it also runs directly from Ogilvie station and is a short walk from Union Station downtown.
- Bike parking: If you’re heading to the festival on two wheels, check out our bike parking at the southwest corner of Randolph Street and Ada Street. This year, we’ve partnered with Working Bikes and Active Transportation to help provide further information and resources on bike transport in our city.
