Getting there
Nearest airport DEN.
How do I get to Blues From The Top Music Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Blues From The Top Music Festival. The nearest major airport is DEN, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
The daily Chicago, Emeryville California Zephyr stops at Fraser, Winter Park station (Amtrak's highest-elevation stop, 8,561 ft), about 4 miles from the venue via the free Lift bus or a short rideshare. From DEN: take the RTD A Line to Denver Union Station, then the westbound Zephyr (one departure daily each direction arrives Fraser mid-morning westbound; the eastbound return to Denver departs Fraser late afternoon, approx. 4:30 PM). Note: the Winter Park Express ski train ($9 fares) runs only January, March and is NOT available for this June festival
Book / info →By bus & public transit
No public transit runs the full DEN→Winter Park leg. The RTD A Line commuter rail connects DEN to Denver Union Station (the Amtrak pickup point) airport trips require the $10 Airport Day Pass, not the standard $5.50 day pass. Once in the Fraser Valley, The Lift is a genuinely free year-round public bus connecting Winter Park Resort, downtown Winter Park (the venue is downtown at Hideaway Park), Fraser and Granby; in summer the Black Line and Granby Regional Commuter run 7 AM, 2:30 AM daily, with peak Black Line service Thursday, Sunday June, August. The festival's own guide also notes a Night Shuttle running until 2:00 AM into Winter Park and Fraser during the festival (info: 970-726-4163)
Book / info →Festival shuttle
Scheduled shared shuttle between Denver International Airport and Winter Park/Fraser, operating since 1982. Year-round service; during the summer season (early June through early September, which covers the late-June festival dates) there are two scheduled departures daily from DEN (10:00 AM and 1:00 PM). Book at least 1 hour ahead online; door-to-door service within Grand County available at additional rates. This is an independent commercial shuttle, not a festival-operated one no official festival airport shuttle exists
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
Uber and Lyft both operate at DEN (designated rideshare pickup zones; DEN adds a $3.00 rideshare pickup surcharge) and will run the ~88-mile trip to Winter Park. Practical caveat: driver availability for the RETURN trip out of Winter Park/Grand County is thin attendee/forum reports describe long waits or no cars, so pre-book the shuttle or train back rather than counting on hailing a ride in the mountains
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
Cost Free. Free parking throughout the Town of Winter Park and at Cooper Creek Square (225 Cooper Creek Way), directly across from the festival entrance. Limited disabled parking at Highway 40 and Rendezvous Way near the gate entrance, first-come first-served. No prepay/reservation platform parking is free town parking. Road/weather updates via 511 or cotrip.org
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at DEN
Strong fit: the venue is a 90-mile mountain drive from DEN, the summer airport shuttle runs only twice daily, the train runs once daily, and rideshare return availability from Grand County is unreliable a hire car from DEN is the most flexible option for fly-in attendees, and festival parking is free

Camping & Accommodation
Where can I stay near Blues From The Top Music Festival?
Hotels nearby 5
Airbnb & private camping
Winter Park/Fraser is a mature short-term-rental resort market with a large condo and cabin inventory in the downtown core, Rendezvous area and Fraser, so festival-weekend availability is normally workable if booked ahead but late June is peak summer season in a resort town, so expect weekend rates to run well above shoulder-season pricing and the walkable downtown listings to go first. (General market-pattern statement, not a quoted-source fact
Search Airbnb →Solid alternative here because the festival itself points campers off-site: Hipcamp lists tent/RV/cabin options around Winter Park, Fraser and Granby (e.g. Red Moose Lodge RV Camping in Fraser, ~7 minutes from downtown Winter Park; Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains in Granby with full hookups and pool). These sit alongside the US Forest Service campgrounds the festival's guide references (USFS info 970-887-4100; nearby Idlewild and Robbers Roost are first-come, first-served arrive early)
