Submitted by Denise R, Honey Brook PA on February 24, 2020You can get the bus from anywhere along Coastal Highway and it will take you to Springfest. There are stops every few blocks. There is a southbound bus stop just north of 112th Street, and the northbound bus stops about a block south of 112th Street. See a map of all bus stops here.
You can also take the Springfest Express Bus. It generally travels from the Convention Center parking lot at 40th Street (park for free there) directly to Springfest. No matter what option you choose, the price of the bus is $3/person to ride all day.

Submitted by Debbie C, Steelton PA on January 30, 2020My best advice is to spend the money and buy a drop zone ticket. It makes a difference if you are a true fan. There is space available all along the beach, but the drop zone is like having front row tickets.
