Taxi & rideshare
at the festival itself, the official page tells riders to enter "Idlewild Drive and Cowan Drive" as the drop-off point for the main entrance~15-20 min RNO to Idlewild Park · Roughly $10-18 rideshare / $15-22 metered taxi from RNO to the general downtown/Idlewild Park area (city-level fare, not festival-specific)

Rideshare/taxi pickup at RNO is in a designated ground-transportation loop outside baggage claim Door D. For the return/venue leg, the festival's own directions page names the Idlewild Drive & Cowan Drive intersection as the correct rideshare entry point

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

🚙 Car hire

Compare car hire at RNO

Free on-site/nearby parking plus a free official park-and-ride shuttle from Reno High School makes car hire optional for the festival commute itself; still a reasonable add-on for attendees combining the trip with the wider Reno-Tahoe area

Airbnb

Reno's Airbnb market averages roughly $172-235/night depending on tier. Reno River Festival runs the Memorial Day weekend (May 29-31, 2026) which is a nationally busier travel weekend, so some premium over baseline Reno pricing is plausible

Hipcamp

Hipcamp lists numerous campgrounds, RV parks and cabins across the Reno-Tahoe region (Lake Tahoe ~40 miles away), averaging around $47/night a plausible weekend base for attendees combining the festival with a Tahoe camping trip, not a walkable substitute for lodging near Idlewild Park itself
