Getting there

Nearest airport PIT.

How do I get to International Polka Association Festival and Convention?

By car

Most people drive to International Polka Association Festival and Convention. The nearest major airport is PIT, 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

No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.

Festival shuttle
Third-party shared-ride shuttle operators (Airport Orbit, SuperShuttle Pittsburgh, Mountain Line Transit) NOT hotel- or festival-operated

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 / info →
Taxi & rideshare
Uber/Lyft (pickup across the road from Door 7, Ground Level); curbside taxi~25-30 min · priced in-app / metered; no fixed long-distance fare found for this specific ~25-mile route

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 / 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 complimentary hotel parking, 500+ spaces (tractor trailers not permitted). 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

🚙 Car hire

Compare car hire at PIT

Lower-priority option for this event: it's a single-hotel convention with free on-site parking and no need to move between venues once there (aside from the Cranberry Elks Lodge welcome party the night before). Car hire mainly suits attendees combining the trip with wider Pittsburgh-area travel, since PIT's own transit doesn't reach this corridor and a rideshare covers the one-way airport leg fine
