check the specific festival date against the Cardinal's operating days before relying on it. Does not serve CVG directly
Book / info →By bus & public transit
Both carriers serve a Cincinnati 'Downtown' stop, but despite the name it's at 2985 Short Vine St in the Corryville/University of Cincinnati area roughly 3 miles from Paycor Stadium, not truly downtown-walkable. Useful for attendees arriving by intercity coach from elsewhere in the region, but plan an onward rideshare or Metro bus leg to the stadium
Book / info →a short walk or very short rideshare from the downtown drop point closes the last few blocks
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
Direct to downtown Cincinnati/Paycor Stadium, no further connection needed
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.

🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at CVG
Paycor Stadium is a walkable downtown riverfront venue with strong TANK/rideshare/parking coverage, so a car isn't essential for the festival alone car hire mainly suits fly-in attendees combining the weekend with wider Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky travel, or those needing flexibility beyond the 4:30pm-11pm event-parking window
