San Diego Bayfest Tips and Tricks
Stay Updated
San Diego Bayfest will be posting their set times, as well as other upcoming information, on their social media pages. Give them a follow for more news on Instagram, Facebook, and X at @bayfestsd.
Explore the Grounds
Waterfront Park is a space large enough to house plenty of sick local vendors for food and drinks, so take the time to see what’s popping at each booth. Utilize that space between sets to grab some grub and merch.
Stay Off the Road
With a less-than-savory combo of large crowds and complicated parking situations, getting to San Diego Bayfest by car is probably not your best choice. Consider public transportation for ease of travel and avoidance of the inevitable mood killing traffic. Factor in time for parking and/or walking from the trolley to the event.
Get Comfy
Festivals last a while, so get ready to be on your feet and outside for most of the day. Show up in something comfortable and don’t forget sunscreen!
