Getting there
How do I get to Port of Hueneme Banana Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Port of Hueneme Banana Festival. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
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 →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
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
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 →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.

Oxnard/Port Hueneme and the nearby Ventura and Channel Islands Harbor areas have a moderate coastal short-term-rental supply; late-September is shoulder season so expect moderate rather than peak-summer pricing. General seasonal note only

Accessibility & comfort
What the organiser or venue publishes about getting around, and what they do not.
Checked every page in the official site sitemap on 3 Sep 2026, including /things-to-know, /directions, /festival-info, /attractions/port-tours and /accessibility-statement. The page called Accessibility Statement is only a website WCAG and UserWay widget statement, not visitor accessibility. Things to Know says only More Info Coming Soon. No terrain or surface description, no accessible parking or drop off detail, no accessible toilet, viewing or companion ticket information, and nothing on port tour accessibility. The site says admission and event parking are free and that the parking lots are a quick easy walk from the festival, but gives no distance or surface. Organiser contact for access questions is (805) 488-3677 or [email protected]
Confirm your specific needs with the organiser's access team before you travel.
