The experience
What's special
GraceFest is a Southern California Christian 'music and message' festival that has run for roughly 17 years, now held at Castaic Lake near Six Flags Magic Mountain after relocating from the Antelope Valley. It combines national Christian and worship headliners with local worship teams and speakers, plus a family Kids Zone, inflatable games, food trucks, vendors and lakeside activities, billed as an all-ages, faith-centered community day.
Last time around (2025)
The most recent edition was held September 27, 2025 at Castaic Lake, the festival's first year at the new lakeside site after moving from the Antelope Valley, with a worship-and-message lineup that included Tauren Wells, Taya, Danny Gokey and Miles Minnick, alongside a family Kids Zone and food vendors.

Getting there
How do I get to GraceFest?
By car
Most people drive to GraceFest. 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
Santa Clarita Transit's local routes (Route 1 Castaic/MRTC, Route 623) serve the Castaic community, but per LA Transit to Trails' own venue guide, no route reaches Castaic Lake State Recreation Area's gate directly, the nearest stop is Ridge Route Rd/Lake Hughes Rd, roughly 1.2 miles / ~30 min walk from the park entrance and lake trailhead (0.2 mi to the entrance, then 1 mi through the park). Workable for a determined day-tripper but not a practical festival-crowd option; no airport-to-Castaic direct transit exists regardless.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR), roughly 28 miles / 35-45 min south via I-5, is the nearest airport with meaningful commercial service and standard Uber/Lyft terminal pickup. Van Nuys Airport (VNY, ~24 mi) is closer by straight-line distance but is general-aviation only (no scheduled commercial flights), so it is noted but not treated as the realistic fly-in option. Use the app for a quote.
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. Castaic Lake's kiosk accepts cash or credit card at the gate (bills over $20 not accepted); an annual-membership prepay option exists via LA County's Active Communities system but daily admission is pay-at-gate, not advance-purchase.

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

Accessibility & comfort
Checked gracefest.org homepage, /about and /contact on 3 Sep 2026, and tried /faq, /parking, /accessibility and /info which all return 404. Also checked the Los Angeles County Parks page for the venue, Castaic Lake Recreation Area, which covers fees, boating and directions but no accessibility detail. GraceFest publishes no accessibility statement, no terrain or surface description for the lakeside site, no accessible parking or drop off information, no accessible toilet, viewing or camping detail, no companion or carer ticket policy, and no ASL or quiet space information. A paid parking pass is sold separately but nothing is said about accessible spaces. Organiser contact for access questions is the general enquiries address [email protected] or the contact form at https://www.gracefest.org/contact; there is no access specific contact.
