How do I get to Prescott Park Arts Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Prescott Park Arts Festival. The nearest major airport is PSM, 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
COAST's own routes page names Route 42 the 'Pease Shuttle,' running from the Pease Tradeport (airport) to Portsmouth Transportation Center downtown from there Prescott Park is roughly a 10-15 min walk through Market Square/Strawbery Banke. Runs on a roughly hourly local/regional schedule
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
The airport's own page defers to the City of Portsmouth's public works department for taxi/rideshare/car-service specifics rather than publishing its own pickup policy no festival- or venue-specific pickup zone was found (this is a free, non-fenced downtown park event, not a ticketed stadium-scale fest)
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
On site parking available. Cost Prescott Park's own lot has only 16 spaces, all ADA-accessible and reserved 5pm-11pm for evening events on a first-come, first-served basis for placard holders not general-public parking. For everyone else, the festival's own FAQ directs attendees to the adjacent Strawbery Banke Museum lot (14 Hancock St) at $15/vehicle for evening events (credit card or Venmo; proceeds support the museum), plus metered street parking and several downtown public garages/lots (e.g. Hanover Street garage) within walking distance, shown on a map on the festival's own FAQ page.

Downtown Portsmouth has active Airbnb inventory year-round; it's a free, ~10-week donation-based summer season rather than a single ticketed peak-demand weekend, so any pricing pattern is more likely tied to general Seacoast NH summer tourism than to this event specifically
Search Airbnb →No downtown-Portsmouth-specific Hipcamp inventory exists (dense historic waterfront district, not campable land)
