Take BART + Muni to Outside Lands Music Festival

Outside Lands, the Bay Area’s biggest music festival, is this Friday, Aug. 8, through Sunday, Aug. 10. The annual festival draws thousands of people to San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, and parking is a nightmare with no on-site festival parking and very limited street parking. 

Don't circle the neighborhood for an hour. Take public transportation!

Use BART's Trip Planner for detailed routes and transit options.

Getting there

BART does not offer direct service to Golden Gate Park, but you can easily take BART into Downtown San Francisco and transfer to SF Muni or the festival's pre-paid roundtrip local shuttles.

BART will run a regular schedule, with trains running until around midnight each night of the festival. 

Muni transfer: Exit at Montgomery St Station and take the 5R Fulton Rapid, 5 Fulton, 38R Geary Rapid or 38 Geary Bus to the Main Gate. Muni will provide extra service on the N Judah and 5R Fulton Rapid. Each night of the festival, Muni will provide 5X Fulton Express service from Golden Gate Park to Civic Center BART Station. 

Outside Lands prepaid shuttles: Take BART to Civic Center Station and walk down Grove St. to Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. 

Parking at BART is free on weekends

BART Parking is free after 3pm on Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday, except for the Milpitas and Berryessa/North San Jose stations, which are operated by VTA. Visit bart.gov/parking for more info.
