Getting there

Nearest airport JAX.

How do I get to Springing the Blues?

By car

Most people drive to Springing the Blues. The nearest major airport is JAX, 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
JTA (Jacksonville Transportation Authority) CT3 from airport, transfer downtown for beach-area routes~60-90 min including downtown transfer

JTA Bus CT3 runs from JAX to downtown Jacksonville. Reaching Jacksonville Beach from there requires a further JTA connection (downtown-to-beaches route pattern) this is a multi-leg, roughly 60-90 minute public-transit trip, not a direct single-bus option, so it's a viable but slow budget option rather than the practical default. Not mentioned on the festival's own transportation page at all

Book / info β†’
Taxi & rideshare
Uber, Lyft (App-Based Rides pickup, Lower Arrival Curb, Poles 1 and 2); taxi/limo booths on Lower Level outside Baggage Claim~30-40 min depending on traffic

The festival's own transportation page directly recommends this option: 'Tap an app for a ride' to save on parking hassles. From JAX, pickup is signed and separate from the taxi/limo booth area (no reservations required)

Book / info β†’

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.

πŸ…Ώ Parking

On site parking available. Cost The festival's own transportation page directs attendees to 'more than 1,000 parking spaces inside the Central Business District,' naming specific lots at Jacksonville Beach Pier & N. 5th/6th Avenues, 1st Street & 4th Avenue, and 2nd Street & 2nd Avenue, plus street parking on First, Second, and Third Streets. No per-space cost or prepay platform (e.g. ParkMobile) was published on the festival's own page this is city/downtown metered and lot parking, not a festival-run paid lot, so no single ticketed price applies. A genuinely useful official alternative: 'Beachside Buggies will pick you up and deliver you to the festival in an open air electric cart. . rides are free' (tips encouraged), picking up from Lynch's Irish Pub.

πŸš™ Car hire

Compare car hire at JAX

Free, walkable beachfront festival with 1,000+ nearby parking spaces and a free electric-cart shuttle (Beachside Buggies) car hire isn't needed for the festival itself, but is a reasonable option for fly-in attendees wanting to explore the wider Jacksonville/First Coast area, since JAX sits ~20-25 miles from the venue with no fast direct transit link
