Festival shuttle
Prebookable third-party shuttles serve the wider Pittsburgh/Allegheny region from PIT; not confirmed to run a route to Cranberry Township specifically. Explicitly not an official hotel shuttle, the DoubleTree's own listing confirms it offers none (see parking/hotel note below).
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
The practical option for this trip, the hotel confirms directly it runs no airport shuttle (see below), and Cranberry Township/Mars is north of the city, off the 28X Airport Flyer's downtown/Oakland routing.
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.

This is a hotel-convention event (DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh-Cranberry, 910 Sheraton Dr, Mars PA), parking is simply the hotel's own complimentary guest lot, not a separate festival-run parking product.
