Once youa??re in town, take the Jazz Fest Expressa??Grayline Tours will run a shuttle from the Sheraton Hotel, Gray Line Lighthouse, and Marconi Meadows (City Park) throughout the day, from 10 in the morning to 7:30 p.m. The Express costs $16, or $14 for City Park, where you can park your car (easier than parking at the Fair Grounds).

Take the Canal Street streetcar from downtown towards City Park/Museum. Not quite door-to-door service, but it will let you off in walking distance to the Fair Grounds.

A caba??s a good way to go too: not too expensive and you dona??t have to hassle with parking. During the festival, cabs have special rates.

• Grayline Tours have a lot of different tours availablea??cruises, haunted tours, bayou tours, and more. Dona??t just stop with the Fest.
• Parking is $20 at the Fair Grounds so taking the Grayline Express is less expensive.
• Get a hotel room at a hotel that has shuttle service to the Jazz Fest.
• If you do drive and park, don't keep any valuables in the car and keep the car locked up tight.
