Getting there

Nearest airport DTW.

How do I get to Faster Horses Festival?

By car

Most people drive to Faster Horses Festival. The nearest major airport is DTW, 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 Wolverine line via Jackson, MI station3 daily round trips; onward ~25-30 min drive to the venue · Varies by origin, check Amtrak's own fare finder

The Wolverine line (Chicago, Detroit, Pontiac) stops at Jackson's historic Amtrak station, about 20 miles from Michigan International Speedway, the closest passenger rail stop to the venue, though still not a direct venue connection. Three trains run each way daily. From Jackson station, plan on a rental car, rideshare, or a ride from a friend for the final leg out to Brooklyn.

Book / info
By bus & public transit
Greyhound / FlixBus via Jackson, MIVaries by route · Fares to Jackson from roughly $13 one-way depending on origin and how far ahead you book

Both Greyhound and FlixBus stop in Jackson, about 20 miles from the venue, with connections to Detroit, Chicago, and Ann Arbor. As with the train, this gets you to Jackson, not the venue itself, budget for a rideshare, rental car, or ride from a friend for the last leg.

Book / info
Michigan Flyer AirRide (Indian Trails / TheRide)~45-60 min DTW to Ann Arbor, depending on terminal and traffic · $16 one-way / $27 round-trip online; $3-6 more if bought from the driver

A scheduled intercity coach running direct trips from DTW's Evans and McNamara Terminals to downtown Ann Arbor's Blake Transit Center, about 9 departures a day. This reaches Ann Arbor, roughly 40 miles from the venue, a real, bookable option for the DTW leg, but still needs a further rideshare or rental car connection to actually reach Brooklyn.

Book / info
Taxi & rideshare
Uber, Lyft, metered taxiRoughly 60-90 min depending on airport and traffic

Uber and Lyft operate at DTW, Toledo Express, and Lansing's airport. Given the venue sits 55-75 miles from all three, a rideshare for the full trip is expensive, get a live in-app quote before booking, and expect it to be one of the pricier ways to arrive. A DTW rideshare pickup surcharge is folded automatically into the quoted fare at that airport specifically.

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

Prepay via the Speedway's own site. Day parking at Michigan International Speedway is free for guests, follow the parking attendants' directions on arrival. Overnight parking (for non-campers who still want to leave a vehicle overnight) can be purchased at the box office or online, or parked free at the designated pond-corner lot near M-50 Highway. Designated free parking is provided for guests with disabilities, directed on arrival.
