Getting there
How do I get to 32nd California Brewers Festival?
By car
Most people drive to 32nd California Brewers Festival. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
SacRT and Yolobus serve SMF with bus connections toward downtown Sacramento, but no bus route reaches Discovery Park itself the park sits on a levee-edge road with no scheduled service. A transit rider would need SacRT's trip planner to reach downtown, then a rideshare/taxi for the final riverside leg. Practical mainly for travelers already using transit; most attendees will find rideshare or a car simpler
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is only about 10-15 miles from Discovery Park a short ride south and east. SMF designates three Ride App Pickup Zones for Uber/Lyft plus a regulated taxi stand, both shown on the airport's ground-transportation map. This is the simplest door-to-door option to a riverside park with no direct transit service
Book / info →Taxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
On site parking available. Discovery Park is a Sacramento County regional park with its own on-site day-use parking areas at the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers. The festival's official site does not publish specific parking or transportation guidance, so plan on the park's standard day-use vehicle fee and arrive early large single-day events fill the riverside lots. Rideshare drop-off is a good alternative given tasting-event drinking; there is no on-street neighborhood parking nearby (the park is bounded by rivers and levee roads)
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire
A rental car suits fly-in attendees pairing the festival with wider Sacramento/Northern California travel, since Discovery Park has no direct transit and rideshare is the only non-car option. For the festival day itself, a designated driver or rideshare is wiser than driving to an all-day tasting event

Sacramento has broad short-stay inventory across Midtown, East Sacramento and the downtown/Old Sacramento core none walkable to Discovery Park (an isolated riverside park), but a Midtown unit puts you a 10-15 min rideshare from the festival and near the city's restaurant/bar scene. Early September is warm but not a peak convention window, so pricing is usually reasonable versus summer. Link points to the Sacramento Airbnb search
Search Airbnb →This is an urban single-day event with no camping. Hipcamp inventory near Sacramento is out in the surrounding countryside, the Sacramento River delta and toward the Sierra foothills (~30-60 min drive) farm stays, private-land tent sites and glamping for attendees pairing the weekend with a wider Northern California outdoors trip, not a walkable lodging substitute.
