Taxi

There is a taxi stand in front of JOEY Lansdowne.

Walk

All the pathways leading to Lansdowne are fully accessible, so you can enjoy local sights and amenities on your way.

Cycle

Lansdowne offers more than 600 bike parking spaces across the site. All bicycles must be left outside the festival gates. You should not operate any vehicle, even a non-motorized one like a bicycle, while intoxicated. Please be safe.

The City has identified a number of cycling routes get to Lansdowne. 

Drive

We encourage festival attendees to seriously consider all other modes of transportation first. While there is an underground parking garage at Lansdowne, parking is very limited. Taking the bus, using a ride-share/taxi, or walking are all highly recommended as much safer ways to travel when consumption of alcoholic beverages is involved! We want you to have a great time at the festival, but we also want you to get home alive and well. 

NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE!
