It’s a short walk

When it comes to getting to the pavilion from the assorted concert parking areas, the most obvious solution is to walk. Take note of which parking lot you are in – Blue lot, Green lot, Yellow lot, Orange lot, or the pre-paid Gold lot and follow the signs to the pavilion. In recent years, we have seen a few American-Rickshaw type services. The bicycle-taxi drivers appear to be operated (in recent years) by more than once service and we are not aware of the cost for a ride back and forth between the pavilion and the various parking lots or parking garages. Once arrived at the Pavilion Gates, here’s the pavilion seating chart.
