How do I get to Dillo Day?

By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
Taxi & rideshare
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 after 4pm on weekdays and all day Saturday/Sunday in the campus structure per Northwestern's own directions page; at other times a paid temporary pass from the University Parking Office (Segal Visitors Center) is required, or street parking. dilloday.com, its support portal, and the official pre-event 'Buckle Up for Dillo Day' safety PDF do not publish Dillo-Day-specific parking or road-closure guidance (checked all three)
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at ORD
Free one-day festival on a walkable, transit- and rideshare-accessible university campus with no camping car hire is a low-priority option, useful mainly for fly-in family/guests stacking a wider Chicago-area trip; parking right at the closed-off Lakefill will be constrained on event day per the general campus parking note above

Evanston/North Shore Airbnb inventory is active but much smaller than downtown Chicago's. general expectation of tighter/pricier inventory on a big one-day campus event weekend is an inference from festival-lodging patterns generally, not a confirmed Dillo Day-specific data point
Search Airbnb →Hipcamp has minimal-to-no relevant inventory directly in Evanston (expected it's a dense inner-suburban/university area, not a rural or private-land region); nearest real listings would be well outside the North Shore
