Take BART to Outside Lands Music Festival

Outside Lands is August 11-13. Photo courtesy of Outside Lands and Alive Coverage.

Outside Lands is the Bay Area’s biggest music festival, with thousands of people coming to experience the three-day event in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. This year, the event will be from Friday, August 11 through Sunday, August 13. Driving and finding parking can be a nightmare! There is no on-site parking at the festival and street parking will be extremely limited. Skip the hassle and take public transportation!

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

Getting there

While BART doesn't offer direct service to Golden Gate Park, you can take BART and transfer to SF Muni or Outside Lands prepaid local shuttles to get to the event. 

BART will run regular service until around midnight on each night of the festival. 

It is also helpful to look at our regular map and our "Sunday and Evenings" map to understand the lines that run for your trip there and your trip home at night.

From BART, you can connect with Muni:

• N Judah light rail from all four downtown San Francisco Stations (Embarcadero, Montgomery St, Powell St, and Civic Center/UN Plaza).
• Or the 5R Fulton Rapid bus from our Civic Center/UN Plaza Station.

If you are taking the Outside Lands shuttle, exit at Civic Center/UN Plaza and head to the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, across the street from the station.

For more transportation options from BART to the festival, see the travel & transport section of the Outside Lands info page.
