How to get to the Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest?
PLEASE DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE – really, we can’t stress this enough… if you overindulge, leave your car and come back for it the next day. Take the free shuttle or a taxi, you’ll make some new friends and keep everyone safe. Here are some options:
1. FREE SHUTTLE - from downtown Chico. The shuttle will run on a continuous loop from 3:30-10 pm. Pick up and drop off are at the transit center across from Madison Bear Garden. This is the ideal option for those seeking post-Fest festivities…
2. RIDE YOUR BIKE – there is plentiful bike parking at the brewery! We don’t advocate drinking and riding your bike though…
3. PARKING AT SILVER DOLLAR FAIRGROUND – complimentary parking available at the Fairgrounds, it’s a short walk to the brewery, or you can take the shuttle that will run back and forth from 3:30 pm - 10 pm. If you need to, you can leave your car overnight at the fairgrounds and pick it up the next day.

**THERE IS NO PARKING ON-SITE AT SIERRA NEVADA**
