Getting to the Festival

“PARK & RIDE” OUR FESTIVAL SHUTTLE!

The shuttle costs $3 round trip. (Cash Only! Please bring exact fare.)

We encourage you to take our festival shuttle, provided by the local school district. We offer shuttle routes servicing Astoria, Warrenton, and Knappa. 2025 shuttle route details are listed below!

Choose the shuttle stop location most convenient for you. Use public or street parking near your desired shuttle stop. Be respectful of private parking and leave hotel, campground, and other business parking lots free for their guests and customers.

Our shuttles run continuously, in order to reduce wait times at each stop. However, factors such as traffic and peak usage periods can delay the shuttles. Expect longer wait times during peak festival hours. Shuttle service is limited on Sunday.

Pets are NOT allowed on the shuttles or at the festival.

Fairgrounds Parking costs $20 per car (Cash Only! Please bring exact fare.)
Parking is EXTREMELY LIMITED at the Fairgrounds. Parking spots are first come first served. If you plan to park, we encourage you to carpool. Be prepared for Fairgrounds parking to be full (especially Friday and Saturday nights). If Fairgrounds parking is full, you will be directed to the nearest available shuttle stop in Astoria.

Drop offs are allowed. Consider having a friend drop you off at the Fairgrounds if shuttle or parking are not possible for you.

RV and/or trailer parking is NOT available to festival patrons due to the small size of the parking lot.

Handicap parking ($20 per car) is available at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds, but space is limited. To qualify, please have a valid handicap placard visible in your windshield. We offer an accessible (ADA lift) shuttle from the parking lot to the festival building. Please Note: The shuttle buses servicing Astoria, Warrenton, and Knappa routes are not all equipped with handicap lifts.

We are now offering wheelchair rentals at the Fairgrounds. The Clatsop County Fair & Expo recently acquired some manual wheelchairs for use on the property. Please have a member of your party visit the Info Booth in the Fairgrounds Exhibit Hall, and they will talk you through checking out the wheelchair for use. Wheelchairs are available on a first come, first served basis. This is our first time offering this service, so we thank you in advance for your flexibility as we coordinate wheelchair logistics this year. 

Please drink responsibly and commit to using a safe option to travel to and from the festival. If you plan on drinking, don’t drive. Organize a ride with a designated driver, take a taxi, or use our festival shuttle service.
