How do I get to Reggae Rise Up Arizona?
By car
Most people drive to Reggae Rise Up Arizona. The nearest major airport is PHX, 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
From any PHX terminal, the free automated Sky Train connects to the 44th St/Washington Valley Metro Rail station; the A Line runs directly into Tempe, terminating at the Mill Ave/3rd St (Downtown Tempe/Town Lake) station a short walk to Tempe Beach Park. This is the standard fly-in route and matches the festival's own recommended public-transit option
Book / info →Once in downtown Tempe (e.g. from the Mill Ave/3rd St light-rail/streetcar transfer point), the Tempe Streetcar runs a 3-mile downtown loop with a dedicated Tempe Beach Park/Town Lake stop the last-mile connector for anyone not walking from a nearby hotel
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
At the venue itself, festival-weekend street closures around Tempe Beach Park can complicate curbside drop-off, and self-driving Waymo vehicles in particular may struggle to reach a designated pickup point inside the closure zone no official festival rideshare-zone page was found
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 $20 per day.
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at PHX
Downtown, walkable festival with strong PHX Sky Train + light rail + streetcar coverage car hire isn't needed for the festival commute itself, but is a reasonable add-on for fly-in attendees combining the trip with wider Arizona travel (Sedona, Grand Canyon, etc.)

Camping & Accommodation
Where can I stay near Reggae Rise Up Arizona?
No on site camping. Here is where to stay nearby.
Hotels nearby 4
Airbnb & private camping
Tempe's Airbnb market averages roughly $173-209/night across listing types (studios/1BR run $95-116, larger homes $329+), with March-April sitting in Phoenix-metro's busier spring season (spring training baseball overlaps the festival's early-April dates) this is a general seasonal-pattern inference, not a cited fact
Search Airbnb →Hipcamp lists 180+ glamping options and 300+ total camping listings within driving range of Tempe (average ~$35/night), but these are desert/ranch/farm properties well outside the urban core a road-trip alternative for attendees wanting a camping base rather than a true walkable substitute for a downtown Tempe hotel
