🅿 Parking
Official FAQ: 'Parking is not available at the festival grounds but it is doable via Downtown Boise parking garages and metered spots' the festival explicitly discourages driving and instead recommends the Treeline shuttle, VRT's free Park & Ride from the Mall, rideshare, walking, biking, or scooters. ADA parking is available at Julia Davis Park itself. Designated public rideshare drop-off is on the north side of the park on Julia Davis Dr., by the Idaho State Museum entrance not general curbside pickup
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire
Not recommended as the primary way to reach the festival itself official guidance actively discourages driving to a car-unfriendly downtown venue cluster with no on-site parking. Worth flagging only for attendees combining the trip with wider Idaho travel (Sun Valley, Sawtooths) outside festival days
