GETTING AROUND DC / METRO

• Airports:

  • Dulles International (IAD): Accessible via the Silver Line Metro.

  • Reagan National (DCA): Connected to the Blue and Yellow Metro lines.

  • BWI (Baltimore/Washington International): Requires a shuttle to the MARC train station, which connects to Union Station in DC. From Union Station, transfer to Metro's Red Line.

• Venue Access:
  The venue is located near the Stadium-Armory Metro stop on the Orange, Blue, and Silver lines. Book accommodations along these lines to simplify your travel.

  • WMATA Metro (DC’s Subway Train):

    • If you stay anywhere along a Metro line, the MAX you should have to travel to the festival is about 60-90minutes.

    • Stay off the Blue/Orange/Silver if you don’t want to have to transfer (though transfer are easy and you should only have 1 Max).

    • Construction Finished Early!! ATTENTION!!!!!! BLUE & YELLOW METRO LINE TRACK-WORK ON WARPED WEEKEND PLEASE NOTE:

      • Free shuttle buses replace Blue & Yellow trains between National Airport and Pentagon City. Read Here

      • As a resident, shuttle buses run fast and there will be a lot of staff on hand to help, but if you don’t want to deal with it, and you are staying off the Blue/Yellow line, stay AT/NORTH of the Pentagon City stop.

  • Rideshare: Services like Lyft and Uber are good alternatives to driving yourself; schedule your pickup in advance to avoid delays.

    • Uber: Here is a 50% off your first 2 rides. Used this referral code if prompted: y9cr3vxmzq3u

    • Lyft: Here is a 50% off your first 2 rides. Used this referral code if prompted: MATT055233

  • Driving: Parking will be limited and requires pre-purchased tickets (see below). If you can take the Metro, it will be the easiest.

  • Rentals: Avoid booking short-term rental homes or apartments until much closer to the event. Owners often cancel last minute if they can get a better deal.

    Hotels or official partner accommodations are your safest bet which you can book using Trip.com to help me out.
