Getting there
Nearest airport HPN.
How do I get to Caramoor Summer Music Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Caramoor Summer Music Festival. The nearest major airport is HPN, 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
Katonah station (70 Katonah Ave) is a stop on the Harlem Line, with direct service from Grand Central Terminal the standard route for attendees flying into the NYC airports (LGA/JFK) rather than HPN, and the venue-endorsed way in: Caramoor meets afternoon/evening Summer Season concerts with a free shuttle at the station. From HPN, board the Harlem Line at White Plains (reached via Bee-Line Route 12) instead of going into Manhattan
Book / info →By bus & public transit
Bee-Line Route 12 picks up on the island in front of the HPN main terminal and runs to the White Plains TransCenter in downtown White Plains; from there it is a short walk (~0.25 mi) to the White Plains Metro-North station, then a Harlem Line train north to Katonah station, where Caramoor's own free concert-day shuttle completes the trip (see shuttle entry). This is the only true public-transit chain from HPN no bus or rail reaches Katonah directly from the airport
Book / info →Festival shuttle
Caramoor runs a FREE shuttle from Metro-North's Katonah train station before and after every afternoon and evening concert in the Summer Season service begins 2.5 hours before the performance and ends 30 minutes after it, no advance reservation required. This is a station-to-venue shuttle, not an airport shuttle: it is the last leg of both airport rail chains above
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
Caramoor's own transport page recommends Katonah Taxi (914.200.0854) and advises booking the round trip in advance because cell service at the venue is spotty; it states Uber and Lyft are 'not popularly serviced in the area'. Uber/Lyft do operate at HPN itself, but relying on app rideshare for the return pickup from Caramoor is officially discouraged pre-arrange the ride back. HPN to Caramoor is roughly 15 miles (~25 min) via I-684
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.
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at HPN
Rural-estate venue in northern Westchester where the venue itself warns Uber/Lyft are unreliable and cell service is spotty for fly-in attendees not using the Harlem Line + free shuttle chain, car hire from HPN is the most practical option, and the venue's free onsite parking removes any cost friction

Link coming soonAirbnb & private camping
Katonah/Bedford is affluent, low-density Westchester with a modest short-term-rental inventory expect a thin spread of whole-home listings across Katonah, Bedford, and Mount Kisco rather than a deep urban market
Search Airbnb →Westchester County itself has very little private-land camping; the nearest meaningful Hipcamp cluster is the broader Hudson Valley region (3,700+ listed campsites, concentrating 45+ min north and west toward the Catskills and the state parks). Workable as a scenic base for a driving visitor, but an odd fit for evening classical concerts hotel or Airbnb is the realistic default here
