Fans will enter the festival on the north side of Discovery Park at the Garden Highway entrance or the Jibboom Street entrance from the south.

Festival parking is not available within Discovery Park during GoldenSky. Camping is also not allowed. In an effort to limit the amount of vehicles around the festival, we ask you to consider the convenient transportation options outlined on this page.

SMF Airport

To ensure a smooth experience, all travelers are encouraged to be prepared by staying on top of communication from their airlines and packing their patience when arriving at SMF. Here are a few additional tips for travelers:

When to arrive at the airport
One of the best ways to save time before a flight is to make plans to arrive ahead of time. SMF recommends that travelers arrive at least 2.5 hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight.  SMF is expecting many customers to use the Rental Car Center, so please allow additional time if you are dropping off a car
 
Parking at SMF
Anyone planning to drive their own vehicle to the airport should plan to navigate directly available lots. Extra signage and staffing will be provided onsite to help with navigation.
 
The garage and hourly lots are expected to fill quickly as demand exceeds capacity. Fortunately, travelers can check how many spots are available in real-time on the Airport’s Parking Status Webpage.
 
Shuttle service to and from the parking lots can also take more time during peak hours. Shuttle service is provided at 25–30-minute intervals. It can take 60 minutes from the time you park until the time you arrive at the terminal.
 
For additional questions about parking at SMF, please email air-parking@saccounty.gov. 
Rideshare/public transportation is recommended
 
Travelers are also strongly advised to consider getting dropped off by friends/family, taking public transportation, or using a taxi or app-based ride sharing.
Public Transportation: Sacramento Regional Transit District’s route 142 runs express service between the airport and downtown seven days a week. YoloBus also offers daily routes throughout the region.
 
App-Based Ridesharing: Lyft, Uber and Wingz all service SMF and have designated areas for pickup at both terminals.
 
Taxis: Taxi service is provided by the Sacramento Independent Taxi Owners Association. Travelers can make reservations by calling 916-444-0008. Taxis can be found outside of baggage claims at both terminals. Visit this link for more information about parking lot options and rates at SMF.
