This page contains information about how to get to Oktoberfest and accomodations that are available. Feel free to drive to town and find street parking, use our Oktoberfest parking lots, catch a shuttle, or consider a private group travel with friends. Lodging is thin in Mt Angel but Silverton, 4 miles south, has the Oregon Garden Resort. Oregon Garden Resort is the sponsor for our Alpinegarten and a very comfortable stay near Oktoberfest. In Mt Angel, there are 4 RV lots with dry camping. For more details, click on the links above.

Shuttles available from Portland, Stayton, Woodburn, Silverton and Salem

Oktoberfest is delighted to offer shuttles again for 2026. Thank you to our sponsors: Travel Oregon and Marion County for the sponsorship support. Shuttles will run to the festival from Portland, Woodburn, and Stayton on Friday and Saturday of Oktoberfest. Salem and Silverton will have a bus option on Saturday only this year. Shuttle tickets are available now, the coveted last ride out of Oktoberfest fills quickly. Please remember, when you select your ticket to select your return home ticket and time. This guarantees you a seat on the bus at the end of your visit.

Local rides, under 30 minutes will be by school bus; this keeps the rides less expensive for our riders and our sponsors. The Portland shuttle will be a large NW Navigator Touring bus.

Salem shuttles will be offered on Saturday only; Friday shuttles were not in high demand in the past, if we receive considerable interest in running a Friday Shuttle from Salem, we can add that option.

If you have questions, please contact us at: info@oktoberfest.org.

Oktoberfest Parking

Oktoberfest parking is available in two lots, clearly marked as you approach Mount Angel on Hwy 214.  The cost for parking and trolley service is $15 for the entire day. Sorry, no prepurchase available for parking.

  • Blue lot is located on the north side of town. Open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday only, this lot has moved to the east side (left side as you come to town) of the road, and is now located in a much larger field. Watch for the reader board on the highway as you approach. The trolley will take visitors in through a back route speeding the drop off time considerably! Car parking: $15 includes shuttle service.
  • Red lot is located on the south side of town off Academy St. Car parking: $15 includes shuttle service.
  • Both lots have trollies running every 15-20 minutes which will drop you close to the center of activities.
  • Bus drivers: the green dots show the bus stop and where to park the bus for the duration of the visit.

Other Transportation

Ride for Hire, Lyft, Uber

Both Lyft and Uber are now operating in our area.  Load your app, load your ‘home’ address, and launch out to the festival using 5 N. Garfield St., Mt. Angel, OR 97362 as your destination.  The driver won’t be able to stop right in front of City Hall, but you will be placed near a drop-off point for easy identification and pick-up.

Taxi

Generally, there are a couple of taxi companies that will have cabs on site in front of the Biergarten. If you need a ride, google for one from the Woodburn area.

Consider carpooling

Another option is getting together with friends for a carpool. Enjoy a ride with friends, and then you only need one driver!

Arrange for private transportation

Rent a van, shuttle, or full-size bus.  These can be arranged with some well-established transportation vendors:
