Need a way there?

Parking will be a total drag around the area, so getting there without your car is best bet.

SEPTA's bus route 57 and the EL's (Blue Line) Girard stop is within blocks of the festival.

If public transportation isn't your thing, ride a bike! Indego Bike Share service stations will be located at Girard & Leopold (1176 Leopard). For people who own their own set of wheels, park at Firth & Wilson Trasport Cycles (1105 Frankford Ave.).
