How do I get to Festival La Onda?
By car
Most people drive to Festival La Onda. 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
AirBART people-mover from OAK to Coliseum BART, transfer to Richmond-bound BART to El Cerrito del Norte, then VINE Transit Route 29 bus onward to downtown Napa (a further short walk/rideshare to Napa Valley Expo). Multiple transfers with luggage.
Book / infoLocal press coverage of the 2025 edition reported VINE Transit ran free bus service throughout the festival weekend for attendees getting around Napa.
Book / infoFestival shuttle
Private/shared shuttle vans between OAK and Napa Valley hotels; book in advance.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Standard app pickup at OAK for the ~49-mile drive to Napa. At the venue itself, press coverage of the 2025 edition noted a designated ride-hailing pickup/drop-off zone at Third and Randolph streets rather than curbside-anywhere pickup, worth flagging to attendees.
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
Napa Valley Expo sits across the Napa River from downtown; limited street parking is available downtown (check signage), and press coverage described a designated rideshare pickup/drop-off zone at Third and Randolph rather than at-venue curbside pickup (per Napa Valley Register's on-the-ground coverage of the 2025 edition).

Check ratesAirbnb & private camping
Napa's Airbnb inventory is substantial (wine-country tourism market) but rates spike sharply on any major event weekend. BottleRock (the sibling festival at the same venue, the weekend before La Onda in past years) is documented as driving a well-known local surge-pricing pattern, and the same dynamic applies to La Onda weekends.
Search AirbnbHipcamp lists private-land camping/glamping across Napa County (vineyard-adjacent sites, working farms), a realistic alternative-lodging option for attendees comfortable camping in wine country even though the festival itself has no on-site camping.
