Getting there
How do I get to Port of Hueneme Banana Festival?
By train 1
The Pacific Surfliner stops at Oxnard station (~5 mi from the port) on the San Luis Obispo-San Diego line (~10 trains/day); connect from LA Union Station (reachable from LAX via FlyAway/Metro). From Oxnard station it is a short rideshare/taxi to Port Hueneme. A genuine no-car option for the last inter-city leg
Book / info →Festival shuttle 1
Oxnard Airport (OXR) is closest on the map (~5 mi) but has had NO scheduled commercial passenger service since 2010, do not treat it as flyable. The realistic fly-in is LAX (~65 mi), then the VC Airporter scheduled shared-ride van (13 daily departures from LAX terminals) to the Ventura/Oxnard area near the festival
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare 1
Standard rideshare/taxi coverage in the Ventura/Oxnard area; for fly-ins, standard airport pickup zones apply at LAX (LAX-it lot), Burbank (BUR, ~50 mi), or Santa Barbara (SBA, ~35 mi). Used mainly for the short last-mile from Oxnard Amtrak/downtown to the port
Book / info →By bus
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Use the airport transfers or shuttle options above.
🅿 Parking
Cost Free.
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire
OXR has no commercial flights and transit from LAX is slow (~2 hrs by shuttle), a hire car from LAX, Burbank, or Santa Barbara is the most flexible option for fly-in attendees and for exploring the wider Ventura County coast
