List/Map of Parking Locations in Downtown Santa Cruz
Parking in Santa Cruz can get a bit hairy, especially during festival time. So, we’ve put together a Parking Guide for you to easily find a spot to place your wheels. Most of the lots and all of the garages are pay-to-park so make sure you have plenty of change, bills or–in some cases–your credit card ready. And be sure to keep track of your time to avoid any unseemly parking tickets because the Santa Cruz Parking Enforcement officers are quick and efficient. Each lot is conveniently located near one of our SCMF venues so no matter where you park, there you are!

Public Restrooms in Downtown Santa Cruz are located HERE. Portable restrooms will be available to festival attendees in San Lorenzo Park. All other participating venues will have restrooms onsite.

We are currently working on finalizing the set times for this year’s huge event! Because we have so many acts, we are carefully curating the weekend and should have our schedule ready TBA!

YES, GET THERE EARLY! Each venue will have its own capacity restraint. The policy is first to come, first served. We HIGHLY recommend getting to a venue early if you want to see a certain artist. There will be lines at each venue, as people leave the venue, new people will be let in from the line. We apologize in advance for any wait or if you are unable to see an act you want to see.
