Transportation

Fans by the thousands flock to Jacksonville Beach for Springing The Blues presented by Sawgrass Asset Management. They’re locals who live down the street or “across the ditch.” Others travel stretches of I-95 and I-10 from near and far. All make their way to the Seawalk Pavilion for the one-of-a-kind experience that only Springing the Blues offers. With as many as 150,000 fans heading to the festival and limited parking, you might want to get creative with your mode of transportation.

By Bike

Parking’s available but limited, so beach locals may want to use a little pedal power.

Walking

Flip flops, sneaks, chucks, boots – whatever your kicks, beat feet down the street or the beach for hassle-free transport. We’ve got plenty of cold beverages to cool you off when you arrive.

Beachside Buggies

A new way get around Atlantic, Neptune and Jax Beach, Beachside Buggies will pick you up and deliver you to the festival in an open air electric cart. Best part, rides are free. The buggies will be picking up and dropping off at Lynch’s Irish Pub. Drivers work for tips so be sure to show some love. Download their mobile app from the Apple app store (here’s the link) and make your request!

Carpool

Do Mother Earth and your fellow festival fans a favor, reduce traffic and leave more parking for others by carpooling. While you’re on the way, belt out the blues with your own version of carpool karaoke. Share the video on your favorite social channel with #springingtheblues so we can all enjoy the fun!

Uber/Lyft

Tap an app for a ride. While you save a few bucks and the time searching for parking, you’re also supporting local small business folks.

A Note about Skating

Although you can skate your way to the Seawalk Pavilion, you’ll need to stow your board, because they’re not permitted inside the festival grounds.
