The festival does offer the option to reserve local Long Beach parking on its website. You can also consider taking the Metro A Line instead, heading towards Long Beach and exiting at 1st Street Station for easy access to the festival. From the station, it is only a fifteen-minute walk to the festival. The Metro also offers park-and-ride lots with parking for $3.00 per day. Attendees can also explore the city of Long Beach by bike, with accessible bike parking options near the metro station and Shoreline Dr., although bike parking spots are limited. Electric scooter parking is available as well along Shoreline Dr and Pine. If you are using rideshare options, the drop-off and pick-up zone is on W. Shoreline Dr. or you can get a ride along Ocean Boulevard, which is just a short walk from the venue. Be prepared for long wait times and price surges if you are using rideshare apps and while you wait, you can explore downtown Long Beach attractions nearby. Learn more on the festival website.
If you get hungry, the festival has various food trucks and featured food booths with something for everyone. Some of the food options include Dave’s Hot Chicken, Island Time Hawaiian BBQ, Monty’s Good Burger (plant-based), D.R.E.A.M. Donut Truck and more.
