Travel

Los Angeles International (LAX) is the primary airport for the weekend and the closest major airport to Venice and Santa Monica. Depending on your route, regional alternatives such as Hollywood Burbank (BUR) or Long Beach (LGB) may also work, with a longer drive to the west side.

If you are driving in, plan around west-side traffic — particularly on Friday afternoon ahead of the first gathering. Parking in Venice and Santa Monica is a mix of metered street parking and paid lots, and it fills quickly near the beach, so allow extra time.

Where an event has its own parking guidance, it is listed with that event on the schedule.

Lodging guidance to follow. Neighborhood suggestions will be shared closer to the date.

The weekend's locations sit within a short drive of one another along the coast. Rideshares are widely available across the west side, and Metro's E Line runs light rail into downtown Santa Monica if you would rather not drive. Where a transit note helps for a specific event, it will appear on the schedule.
