Event Summary
The annual Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival will take place on the weekend of August 9-11, 2024, at Golden Gate Park. The event is expected to attract around 75,000 people each day. The SFMTA works with other agencies and with the Outside Lands event to help maximize transportation options, particularly non-private vehicle options, for this annual event.
In addition to expanded Muni service, there will be taxi stands, passenger loading zones near the entrances, and an active transportation hub at the event itself, which will include bike parking as well as bike- and scooter-share services. A few streets may be closed or have restricted access to reduce congestion and ensure high-quality Muni service.

Muni Service
Muni will provide extra service on the N Judah and 5R Fulton Rapid. Each night of the festival, Muni will provide 5X Fulton Express service from Golden Gate Park to Civic Center BART Station. Due to increased ridership for this event as well as others around the city, concertgoers should allow extra travel time on the N Judah and all bus lines serving Golden Gate Park. Traffic in the area will also be heavy.
Extra Service
Muni will provide extra service to Golden Gate Park in addition to the regular scheduled service. Extra service on 5R Fulton Rapid will not serve the entire route. The N Judah will have extra trains along the full route; extra buses on Fulton will have different destination signs so you can tell them apart from buses operating on regular schedules.
