Nearest airport CLT.
How do I get to Lovin' Life Music Fest?
By car
Most people drive to Lovin' Life Music Fest. The nearest major airport is CLT, 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
First Ward Park sits directly between them. Blue Line one-way tickets are $2.20, valid 90 minutes once activated (station vending machines or CATS-Pass app); the festival's own press coverage recommended discounted 3-day CATS passes for the weekend
Book / info →For attendees driving in from outside Center City (not a CLT-airport leg, but the festival's own recommended alternative to driving into Uptown): free parking at any of 10 CATS Park & Ride lots connected to the Blue Line (e.g. I-485/South Blvd, Sharon Rd West, Arrowood), then ride the Blue Line into Uptown. City officials explicitly urged this over trying to park in Uptown during the festival
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
For the festival itself, the organizers designate a single official rideshare pickup/dropoff address separate from the CLT-side pickup: 418 N. College St, Charlotte, NC 28202 give this address to drivers for both arrival and departure legs of the festival (not the CLT-airport leg)
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
Cost Varies by garage/lot per the festival's own guidance ('Parking prices will vary by garage and lot') no single flat rate published. Prepay via Preferred Parking (per-lot booking, named lots at 401 E 7th St, 237 E 5th St, 709 E Trade St per the festival's own 'Where to Park' page) plus the free CATS Park & Ride option above. First Ward Park sits inside dense Uptown Charlotte with no on-site festival lot. Street parking is explicitly called out as limited during the festival, and some garages/lots near the grounds close entirely during the event. Official guidance from both the festival (lovinlifemusicfest.com/plan/where-to-park/) and the City of Charlotte pushes attendees toward the free CATS Park & Ride + Blue Line combo over driving into Uptown directly
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at CLT
A dense, walkable urban festival in the middle of Uptown Charlotte with no on-site parking and official guidance actively discouraging driving in car hire mainly suits fly-in attendees stacking a wider Carolinas trip rather than reaching the festival itself, where CATS/rideshare is the practical option
