How do I get to Fort Reno Summer Concert Series?
By car
Most people drive to Fort Reno Summer Concert Series. The nearest major airport is DCA, 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
For travelers arriving by rail rather than through DCA: Washington Union Station (50 Massachusetts Ave NE) is Amtrak's DC hub, served by the Northeast Regional, Acela, and multiple long-distance routes, plus MARC and VRE commuter rail. Union Station is on the Metrorail Red Line, which runs DIRECT to Tenleytown-AU with no transfer (~25 min), making rail arrival unusually convenient for this venue
Book / info →By bus & public transit
Intercity coaches serve the Union Station Bus Terminal above the rail station at 50 Massachusetts Ave NE. From there, connect exactly as with Amtrak: Red Line direct to Tenleytown-AU (~25 min, no transfer). A budget option for regional travelers rather than an airport transfer
Book / info →DCA has a Metrorail station physically connected to the airport: from Terminal 2, two enclosed pedestrian bridges on the concourse level lead directly to the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport station (Blue/Yellow lines); from Terminal 1, board any 'Airport Shuttle' bus to a stop with bridge access. Take the Yellow Line toward Mt Vernon Sq/Greenbelt to Gallery Place (or Blue Line to Metro Center), transfer to the Red Line toward Shady Grove, and ride to Tenleytown-AU. Fort Reno Park is directly north of the Tenleytown-AU station, roughly a half-mile, 8-10 min walk up Albemarle/40th St to the concert field at Chesapeake St NW across from Jackson-Reed High School. Pay with a SmarTrip card/mobile app or tap a contactless credit/debit card at the faregate. Shows run 7:15-9:30pm Mon/Thu, so the cheaper evening fare typically applies on the return leg
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
Authorized Uber, Lyft, and Via drivers pick up at Reagan National (coordinate the pickup point in-app), and a DCA Taxi Dispatcher staffs marked taxi stands at both terminals, from Terminal 1 exit baggage claim and turn right, from Terminal 2 use Doors 5 or 6 on the baggage-claim level. The drive to Tenleytown is roughly 9-10 miles up the GW Parkway/Rock Creek or Wisconsin Ave corridors. No advance booking URL, hail in-app or at the stand on arrival
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
No on site parking. Use nearby lots or transit. No festival- or venue-operated lot: Fort Reno is a National Park Service hilltop park with no dedicated event parking, and the all-volunteer festival publishes no parking page (fortreno.com lists only the address, 4000 Chesapeake St NW). Local guides report limited free street parking on Fort Dr NW and adjacent residential blocks around the park. Some surrounding blocks are DC residential-permit (RPP) zones, check posted signage for evening enforcement hours. The practical official-adjacent answer is the Red Line: Tenleytown-AU station is an 8-10 min walk from the concert field
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at DCA
Low-priority option for this festival: it's a free weeknight neighborhood concert series sitting an 8-10 min walk from a Red Line Metro station, with only limited residential street parking nearby. A hire car only makes sense for fly-in visitors using the concert as one stop in a broader DC-region trip, not for reaching the show itself

Camping & Accommodation
Where can I stay near Fort Reno Summer Concert Series?
No on site camping. Here is where to stay nearby.
Hotels nearby 5
Airbnb & private camping
Tenleytown/AU Park is a low-rise residential neighborhood with modest short-term-rental inventory (DC's short-term-rental licensing rules cap supply); most DC Airbnb stock sits downtown, in Dupont/Adams Morgan, or Georgetown, all a straightforward Red Line or bus ride from the show. Because Fort Reno is a free weeknight neighborhood series rather than a destination festival, there is no fest-driven surge; expect ordinary DC summer-tourism pricing instead
Search Airbnb →No camping exists in DC proper (Fort Reno itself is an NPS park with no camping), so Hipcamp's Washington DC directory resolves to private-land tent/glamping sites out in the Maryland and Virginia countryside, generally 45+ min drive away. A scenic alternative to a hotel only for drive-in visitors pairing the concert with a regional trip, not a practical base for a 7:15pm weeknight show without a car
