Getting there
Nearest airport RNO.
How do I get to Reno Jazz Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Reno Jazz Festival. The nearest major airport is RNO, 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
Downtown Reno's Amtrak station is walkable to campus for travelers already on the Chicago-Emeryville/San Francisco corridor; not a practical direct airport connector, still requires a taxi/rideshare/bus leg from RNO
Book / info →By bus & public transit
RTC Route 12 runs from a stop near the airport (Terminal Way & Villanova Drive) to Downtown 4th Street Station 7 days a week; from downtown, campus is roughly another RTC bus hop or a ~20-minute walk north up Virginia Street to the UNR School of the Arts venues (Church Fine Arts, University Foundation Arts, Jot Travis buildings)
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
Rideshare/taxi pickup at RNO is in a designated ground-transportation loop outside baggage claim Door D; a direct ride to the UNR campus/School of the Arts is the most straightforward option for out-of-town festival attendees given the short distance
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 Complimentary general parking on Level 4 of the Brian J. Whalen Complex (Level 2 if an athletic event overlaps) is offered 30 minutes before showtime or after 7pm for performing-arts events; general hourly visitor parking otherwise runs $2/hour via meter, permit dispenser, or the PayByPhone app.
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at RNO
University campus event with RTC bus + rideshare + Amtrak coverage and free campus performing-arts parking on qualifying days car hire isn't required for the festival itself, but is a reasonable add-on for attendees combining the trip with Lake Tahoe (~40 miles away)
