Getting To The Park

How do a trillion people get to Lolla at the same time, quickly, cheaply and in an environmentally-kind way? Take public transportation, ride your bike, and carpool. Here’s the lowdown:

Public Transportation

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has got you covered. With train and bus routes to Grant Park, throughout the city and to both major airports, CTA is clearly the way. Map out your route on CTA or click here to buy a CTA visitor pass (the best value!)

Traveling from the suburbs? Metra’s commuter rail system makes it easy. Click here for the scoop on riding Metra to and from Lolla and to see a map of nearby Metra stations.

Ride Your Bike

Peddle down to Lolla! A free, secure Bike Valet is located just north of the festival grounds at Lakeshore & Monroe. You must provide your own lock. The City of Chicago also provides free, secure bike parking at The McDonald’s Cycle Center in Millennium Park.

Rent a Bike

Our friends at Bike and Roll Chicago offer bike rentals, guided bike tours, and Segway tours. Avoid traffic hassles, and choose a healthy, eco-friendly way of getting to and from the festival or tour Chicago and enjoy its 30+ miles of lakefront paths and 77 different neighborhoods.

Taxis

Grab a cab and get dropped off south of Grant Park at Michigan and Roosevelt, or west of Michigan anywhere along State Street. (No drop-off are allowed along Michigan in front of the festival grounds). Then head over to the Main Entrance and/or Box Office at Michigan and Congress.

Carpool, Then Park

There is no parking on festival grounds. Convenient and security patrolled 24-hour parking is available directly beneath the park in the four underground garages with Millennium Garages.
