How do I get to Ponderosa Stomp?
By car
Most people drive to Ponderosa Stomp. The nearest major airport is MSY, 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
Union Passenger Terminal (1001 Loyola Ave, downtown) is New Orleans' Amtrak hub, a separate stop from MSY airport reached by rideshare/taxi. It connects directly to the RTA Rampart-Loyola streetcar line for the onward leg into the French Quarter/Warehouse District venue area.
Book / infoBy bus & public transit
Both intercity coach operators share the Union Passenger Terminal building with Amtrak, downtown, a single hub with a direct RTA streetcar connection onward.
Book / infoRegular public buses connect the terminal to downtown New Orleans; once downtown, RTA (New Orleans Regional Transit Authority) streetcars/buses take over for in-city travel (single ride $1.25, unlimited-day Jazzy Pass $3, purchasable via the Le Pass app).
Book / infoFestival shuttle
Shared-ride vans depart roughly every 30 min, 5:55 AM-10:00 PM daily, serving Downtown/Uptown hotels, the French Quarter, and the Convention Center, all within the same walkable downtown core as the festival's historical venues.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Taxis are curbside at baggage claim; a commonly cited flat rate applies to French-Quarter-area hotels, which are the same downtown zone as the historical venue addresses.
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
Cost Roughly $15 for up to 8 hours at a Premium Parking lot near House of Blues (716 Iberville St). Howlin' Wolf's block has both metered street parking and the independent Dixie Parking lot directly across the street. Both the French Quarter and Warehouse District/CBD are dense downtown areas served by numerous paid Premium Parking, SpotHero, and ParkWhiz lots rather than a single dedicated event lot, expect to reserve a nearby lot in advance rather than plan on street parking.
