There is no separate parking pass—every car will require a Car Camping Pass if you plan to bring a vehicle to the festival. We highly encourage carpooling, rideshares, or finding a buddy to split a ride. More friends, less cars, more space to dance! For larger vehicles, we have the mid-sized vehicle pass and the RV pass. You can find details on which vehicles are included in each category when purchasing your vehicle pass on Shotgun.
What if I don't have a car?
No problem! We strongly encourage carpooling to reduce traffic and environmental impact. Please sign up for the UW 2026 Carpool if you need or can offer a ride to get all your friends to the festival.
Can I bring a bike?
Honestly, you won't need one! The festival grounds are small and easy to explore on foot. If you do bring one, please ride responsibly—no speeding or reckless riding. Let's keep the vibes safe and fun for everyone!
