DENVER — Grandoozy is here.

And now, concert-goers have to figure out how to get to Denver's Overland Park Golf Course.

More than 60 musical acts were booked for the three-day festival including headliners Kendrick Lamar, Florence + The Machine and Stevie Wonder.

Parking inside the event is limited to vehicles associated with the artists and festival workers. Everyone else who plans to attend the festival will need to find another way to the venue.

That’s why we put together this list of ways to get you to and from the festival.

The first thing you should know is how to get into the festival. There are two main entrances to get into Grandoozy:

  • Florida Avenue entrance: West Florida Avenue between South Platte River Drive and South Santa Fe Drive
  • Jewell Avenue entrance: West Jewell Avenue and South Elati Street.

TAKE A SHUTTLE

Grandoozy is providing a free shuttle service between the RTD's I-25 Broadway Station and the festival grounds. Organizers warn that there could be wait times during peak hours, so be prepared to wait.

Concertgoers can also opt for a concert shuttle pass. Grandoozy has partnered with the service Joyrides to provide shuttles at three other Denver locations that will take people to and from Overland Park.

Those locations are:

Shuttle passes cost $25 per day or $60 for a weekend pass. Shuttles are expected to run nearly every hour on the hour from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. They are first-come, first-serve.

TAKE RTD

Grandoozy festival grounds are located near two RTD stations – the I-25 Broadway Station and the Evans Street Station.

Those who don’t want to wait in line for the free shuttle at the Broadway Station can opt to walk 20 minutes south and enter the festival from the Florida Avenue entrance.

Evans Station riders can walk north about 15 minutes and access the venue through the Jewell Avenue entrance.

TAKE AN UBER, LYFT OR TAXI

Uber is the official rideshare service of Grandoozy. Those new to the rideshare service can download the Uber app and sign up with promo code UBERGDZ18 to get $15 off their first ride.

Lyft is offering one free ride of up to $10 to or from anywhere in the state from September 14 through September 24. Riders need to put in the promo code RIDESMARTCO to get the deal.

Then there's always the option of calling a taxi.

The fastest drop off/pick up location is on Santa Fe Drive at Jewell Avenue, according to Grandoozy organizers.

RIDE A BIKE

Grandoozy is providing a free bike valet for those who prefer to travel to the festival on two wheels.

The bike valet is located at the intersection of the Platte River Trail and West Asbury Avenue – near the south entrance of the festival.

Cyclists can check in their bike to ensure it’s safe before making their way into festival grounds.

GETTING DROPPED OFF/PICKED UP

Grandoozy has two areas where festival-goers can get picked up and dropped off. Both will require a short walk from the festival grounds.

  • NORTH: South Platte River Drive between Santa Fe Drive and South Huron Street
  • SOUTH: Grant Frontier Park, South Platte River Drive off of West Evans Avenue.

PRO TIP: DON’T TRY AND PARK

Grandoozy organizers ask that attendees avoid parking in the neighborhoods surrounding the festival.

Cars parked in unauthorized parking spots are subject to being ticketed and towed.
