Accessible Parking (with a state issued placard/plate) is located at Yosemite Blvd. & Morton Drive - then turn left onto Grand Street and follow the signs. This parking lot may be delayed exiting for pedestrian safety.

Parking attendants will direct you to the closest parking lot.

important notice about parking:

This year we will have a limited amount of parking available for our concert attendees. We highly encourage carpooling or taking a rideshare service of your choice to the concert. For more information about our designated drop-off / pick-up space, click here.
Please plan on walking up to 3/4 mile from the parking lot to the concert site.

Can I take an Uber or Lyft to the concert?

Yes! We encourage you to use a RideApp service (like Uber or Lyft), especially if you plan to enjoy our wine offerings at Picnic. We have a designated drop-off and pick-up space for RideApp services only, located in the roundabout in front of the Dry Creek Building.

Use address 154 S Santa Rosa Ave., take Entry 1, and follow the signs to the right for RideApps drop-off and pick-up. From there you will walk approximately 1/4 mile to the event entrance.

 Parking attendants will be available to assist you as you enter and exit the grounds.
