Shuttle Service
We offer complimentary shuttle service through EZ Event Ride. The shuttle runs 11:30 AM to 8:30 PM between the Bethel Church and FSCJ Downtown Campus parking lots to the Festival Entrance at 1st and Boulevard.
Given the short walk from these parking lots to the festival, we encourage guests to walk if they are able so that guests with disabilities receive priority access to the shuttle.
EZ Event Ride is the official shuttle of PorchFest and operates at no costs to our guests. No other shuttles are sanctioned by PorchFest.

We offer complimentary bike valet services through ZenCog. Bike valet available at the Festival Entrance at 1st and Boulevard. We encourage guests to bike to the event!
