Getting there
Nearest airport FAR.
How do I get to Fargo Blues Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Fargo Blues Festival. The nearest major airport is FAR, 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
Amtrak's Empire Builder calls at Fargo station, 420 4th St N, about 1.7 miles south of Newman Outdoor Field (a short rideshare hop or ~35-minute walk). One train daily in each direction, but both call in the middle of the night: 3:29am toward St. Paul/Chicago and 4:13am toward Minot/Seattle-Portland, per the official Amtrak timetable, plan a late-night arrival buffer rather than a same-morning festival start
Book / info →By bus & public transit
Jefferson Lines' Fargo stop is at NDSU, 1201 University Drive N, roughly half a mile from Newman Outdoor Field, an easy walk even with camp gear on a cart. Direct daily service connects Minneapolis, St. Cloud, Detroit Lakes, Moorhead and Grand Forks among others, the standout budget option for anyone coming from the Twin Cities
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
Hector International is only about 3 road miles northwest of Newman Outdoor Field, one of the shortest airport-to-festival hops in the dataset. Uber operates at FAR with pickup outside the terminal (Uber publishes a dedicated FAR pickup page), and local metered taxis also serve the airport. For most fly-in attendees without a hire car this is the practical door-to-door option, since no MATBUS route serves the airport terminal
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 Paid (cash or card accepted at the lot; Camping pass ($40 advance/$50 gate) includes free parking. "Festival parking is located in lots 'R' or 'HR', CASH OR CARD ACCEPTED. Parking is enforced by NDSU and there is no street parking and no parking in closed lots. Enter and exit the 'R' Lot from 17th Avenue North, at the west entrance on Albrecht Blvd." FAQ adds: "Parking and some vendors only accept cash" and "There are 40 handicap parking spots (blue flags) across the street from the main entrance." No prepay platform, pay at the lot. Note alcohol is banned in the NDSU parking lots (City of Fargo/NDSU police enforce)
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at FAR
Hector International (FAR) is only ~3 road miles from Newman Outdoor Field, so a rental is optional rather than essential for a fly-in weekend, but Fargo's limited transit and the campground's bring-everything format (coolers, grills, camp gear) make a car the practical choice for most fly-in campers. Seven on-airport agencies per fargoairport.com: Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless
