Getting there

Nearest airport EAU.

How do I get to Eaux Claires?

By car

Most people drive to Eaux Claires. The nearest major airport is EAU, 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

No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.

By bus & public transit
Eau Claire Transit (city bus)Varies by route · See Eau Claire Transit fare schedule

16 core routes serving Eau Claire and Altoona, 30-60 min frequency depending on route/time. No dedicated EAU-airport route found. Useful mainly for getting around the city; Carson Park itself is walkable from downtown so most festival-goers won't need it for the last mile

Book / info →
Festival shuttle
Groome Transportation Eau Claire to Minneapolis-St Paul (MSP) shuttle~1.5-2 hrs MSP to Eau Claire, schedule-dependent · contact Groome directly (715-830-9400) or book online

City-to-city van connector, not an EAU-airport-specific mode. Relevant for travelers who fly into the much larger MSP hub instead of the small regional EAU airport, then take Groome's scheduled shuttle down to Eau Claire (~19 trips/day)

Book / info →
Eaux Claires official free festival shuttle (CVTC Parking Lot)Short in-town hop; runs continuously during festival hours · Free

Free, festival-run park-and-ride shuttle from the CVTC Parking Lot (613 W Clairemont Ave, Eau Claire) to the festival entrance, adjacent to the VIP lot. Runs continuously from 11am each festival day, both directions, no ticket needed beyond festival entry

Book / info →
Taxi & rideshare
Uber, Lyft, local taxi (Eau Claire area)~10-15 min EAU to Carson Park by car · Typical short in-town rideshare fare; not separately published for the EAU-to-Carson-Park leg

this is a genuinely short last-mile leg, not a rural haul. At the festival itself, rideshare pickup/dropoff is directed to a designated zone, not general street pickup

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 Not listed while sold out; historically an add-on purchase alongside festival tickets. Prepay via Sold directly via eauxclaires.com ticketing (not a third-party platform like ParkMobile/SpotHero). Because on-site parking is sold out, the festival's own guidance funnels attendees to the free CVTC free-parking-plus-shuttle option, or to the designated rideshare zone at the school turnaround, Lake Street & West Grand Avenue (711 Lake St, Eau Claire)

🚙 Car hire

Compare car hire at EAU

Carson Park is a downtown-walkable, urban venue with a free official shuttle and no on-site parking left to sell car hire is optional for attendees staying downtown, but still the practical choice for anyone bunking at the off-site partner campground (The Pines Music Park, 4 miles out) or flying into the small EAU regional airport rather than MSP

Airbnb & private camping
Airbnb

typical short-term-rental inventory exists downtown and around the university area. Treat standard summer-weekend Eau Claire pricing as the baseline, with some likely uplift on the two festival nights given the 8-year hiatus and reunion draw

Hipcamp

Given Eaux Claires already has a genuine official off-site partner campground (The Pines Music Park, see official_partner_campground below) with an included shuttle, Hipcamp is a secondary/backup option for private-land camping in the wider Chippewa Valley area rather than a primary recommendation
