LOCATION

It’s known as Beach Parking Lot #5; it is in the Southern part of Santa Monica, close to the Venice border, on Barnard Way – where Ocean Park Blvd. hits the water.

You can’t miss it, it is quite large. (It’s where people park for the Sunday Farmer’s market on Main St.)

Proper address is 2600 Barnard Way – if you use a map program, please use mapquest, it is clearest.  CLICK HERE FOR MAPQUEST MAP

PARKING

Obviously, parking is controlled by the City. In addition to parking at Lot #5, there is parking at the many meters just West of Main Street, and there is lots of parking at Beach Parking Lot #4, just a short walk North of the FEST.

BIKE VALET

We will also have a huge bike valet, so pedal on over.

BUS

Big Blue Bus #1 Line stops only 2 short blocks away, at Ocean Park Blvd and Main St. Just walk toward the water.
