How The Heck Do I Get To Riot Fest?

How The Heck Do I Get To Riot Fest?

The map is here! Here’s a guide to taking a train, bike, or car to Douglass Park this weekend
September 10, 2022 (September 17, 2022) // Riot Fest

You’ve seen the daily schedules. You’ve scanned the FAQ. Now, only one question remains: “How the heck do I get to Riot Fest in Douglass Park?”

We suggest taking public transportation, riding a bicycle, taking a cab, or using a ride sharing service to get to Riot Fest. These are the most effective, environmentally sound, and right-neighborly methods to get to Douglass Park. The CTA Pink Line’s California Ave. stop is just blocks away from the festival entrance, and is probably the most convenient route to the fest.

The entrance to Riot Fest is located at the intersection of W. Ogden Ave. & S. Sacramento Dr. Chicago, IL 60623. Check out a map and detailed arrival instructions below.
