Getting there
Nearest airport OAK.
How do I get to Hayward-Russell City Blues Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Hayward-Russell City Blues Festival. The nearest major airport is OAK, 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
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
Oakland Airport BART Station is a short walk from the OAK terminals; the Hayward BART station sits essentially at Hayward City Hall, immediately adjacent to the festival plaza, making BART likely the most direct airport-to-venue mode for this festival (verify current line/transfer routing before publishing a one-seat-ride claim, since BART's East Bay lines are periodically reconfigured)
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
Rideshare pickup at OAK is from the 3rd Curb, Sections 3C2-3C9. Given BART's near-direct routing to the venue, rideshare is the flexibility option rather than the default recommendation for this festival
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
On site parking available. Cost Free, with posted time limits, per the City of Hayward's official downtown parking page. 13 City-operated lots and two parking structures (1,689 off-street spaces combined) serve downtown Hayward, all free with posted time limits; the Watkins Street garage directly across from City Hall (287 spaces, first/second floors) is open 24/7 and is the closest structure to the festival plaza. Overnight parking is prohibited in City lots/garages. No festival-specific paid lot was found, this is the general downtown system the venue sits within, same as the harvest-moon-blues-festival pattern for a small city-plaza fest
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at OAK
A small, walkable city-plaza festival directly served by BART, car hire is a secondary option here, mainly useful for fly-in attendees combining the weekend with other Bay Area travel rather than a necessity for reaching the venue
