By Public Transportation (within San Francisco)

Muni provides multiple lines to Golden Gate Park from all over the city. A map of all Muni lines can be found at 511.org or you can click the image to the right to view the Muni lines adjacent to Golden Gate Park.

Due to heavy attendance at the Outside Lands Festival as well as other events, expect delays especially late at night on the N Judah and all bus lines serving Golden Gate Park.

To help shorten those delays, be sure to purchase your Muni fare in advance. Advance round-trip tickets are available at these locations: Caltrain Station at 4th & King Streets, Civic Center Muni/BART Station, and at the Polo Field entrances to the festival.

You are encouraged to travel early to and from the event. Gates open 90 minutes before the first concert each day.
The SFMTA apologizes for any inconvenience to customers.
