A genuine officially-documented free shuttle loop connects Yellow Creek Park/ROMP, downtown Owensboro (including the two downtown partner hotels), Kentucky Guitar Works, the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum, and Green River Distillery, run by the promoter itself in partnership with the local transit agency, not a proximity workaround.

OWB confirms Uber/Lyft operate at the airport with an estimated $15-25 downtown fare; a similar rideshare-or-taxi option applies to and from the festival itself per the official ticket page ('you can use a taxi or ride-hailing service').
