🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at EAU
Genuinely useful here despite the walkable downtown: EAU's only air link is the O'Hare feed, so many attendees land at MSP ~95 mi away, and a one-way or weekend rental beats the coach-plus-taxi chain for groups; rental counters operate at both MSP and EAU (Uber Rent also lists EAU car hire)

Link coming soonAirbnb & private camping
Eau Claire has a modest but real short-term-rental pool concentrated in the downtown/water-street and Third Ward neighborhoods (e.g. the 1888-built Galloway House duplex within walking distance of downtown), plus whole homes across the city at Midwest college-town prices. book early rather than expecting price spikes
Search Airbnb →Hipcamp lists private-land camping and cabins in the Chippewa Valley around Eau Claire, but this festival is mid-April in Wisconsin overnight lows routinely near or below freezing and many seasonal campgrounds/hosts have not opened for the year so tent camping is a hardy-traveler option at best; heated cabins/glamping structures on Hipcamp are the realistic version. Hotels/Airbnb are the honest primary answer for this fest
