How do I get to Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival. The nearest major airport is MDT, 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
MDT has no rail station. Amtrak's Keystone Service (Philadelphia, Harrisburg Main Line) terminates at the Harrisburg Transportation Center downtown (4th & Chestnut Streets), roughly 10-15 minutes from MDT by CAT bus or car. From there, no direct rail continues to Gettysburg, the same rabbitEXPRESS Route 15N / taxi-rideshare options apply for the onward ~35-mile leg to Gettysburg and then Granite Hill.
Book / infoBy bus & public transit
From MDT, CAT Route 7 (Capital Area Transit) reaches downtown Harrisburg stops (2nd St at Market St, HACC Campus, PHEAA Building), where riders can transfer to rabbitEXPRESS Route 15N, which runs onward to the Gettysburg Transfer Center. WEEKDAY-ONLY SERVICE (Monday, Friday), no confirmed Saturday/Sunday timetable was found, a real limitation for a festival that runs Thu, Sun (Aug 13-16, 2026); useful mainly for a Thursday arrival. Even at the Gettysburg Transfer Center, riders are still ~6 miles from Granite Hill Camping Resort on Fairfield Road and need a taxi/rideshare for the final leg, no transit route reaches the campground itself.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Uber and Lyft operate at MDT (Uber pickup on Level 3 of the parking garage. Lyft via standard airport signage) and are the most direct single-leg option covering the full ~35-mile MDT→Granite Hill trip.
Book / infoTaxis 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
On site parking available. Cost Free, official FAQ states day parking is free. No dedicated rideshare-only drop zone found; the small, family-run nature of this event (single campground, no stadium-scale ingress) means day-lot parking and campsite parking are the only modeled options.

On site parking is available; if you are hiring a car it is worth checking the cost and how early it fills.
