Getting There

​

Both festival venues are located on Heliotrope Drive in Los Angeles, close to major roads, public transportation, restaurants, and local businesses.

Guests should allow additional travel time because Los Angeles traffic can be unpredictable, particularly during evenings and weekends.

We recommend checking your preferred navigation or transportation service before leaving for the festival.

​

Parking

​

Street parking may be available around Heliotrope Drive and the surrounding neighbourhood, but spaces cannot be guaranteed.

​

Please read all posted parking signs carefully and avoid parking in restricted, private, permit-only, or residential spaces.

​

We strongly recommend arriving early before your screening block or event.

​

Rideshare services may be the most convenient option for guests who do not want to search for parking.
