UF Health Parking Lot J
Guests can park at UF Health Parking Lot J (UF Health lot between 9th and 10th, Perry and Boulevard). Given the distance from UF Health to the festival, we recommend this parking lot as overflow.
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 southwest corner of the festival at 2nd & Hubbard.
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.
Bike Valet
We offer complimentary bike valet services through ZenCog. Bike valet available on E 3rd Street, between Main & Hubbard. We encourage guests to bike to the event!
