This page contains some good information about how to get to Oktoberfest. Feel free to drive to town and find street parking, use our Oktoberfest partking lots, consider a private vehicle with friends, or try the new shuttles from Portland and Salem. Lodging is thin in Mt Angel but there are 4 RV lots with dry camping. For more details, click on the links above.

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 $10 for the entire day.

  • Blue lot is located on the north side of town. 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!
  • Red lot is located on the south side of town off Academy St.
  • 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! Check out the GoMates site to help set that up!

Arrange for private transportation

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