Visit Burlington
Getting Here
Getting to Burlington is a breeze with its exceptional connectivity. The city boasts 3 major highways and 3 GO Transit stations with the
‘Burlington’ station closest to the SOM venue. Then hop on Burlington Transit bus No. 10 or 2 or 3 heading south to downtown to arrive within steps of the waterfront festival location. It’s free to ride with your Presto card when combined with GO Transit services. Or it’s an easy 30-minute walk from the station.
Ample parking options, including Green P Public lots and street parking, are available, detailed in the Parking Information and the Downtown Municipal Parking Map. Parking at the Burlington Centre and taking the free bus shuttle service running during SOM is highly recommended.
