    1. Hi
      If you have a rental car, you can drive there but you MUST get there early in the day (before 10a).
      Other options, there will be buses running into Old San Jua, taxis and Ubers will probably be an option also but they probably will not go all the way into OSJ
      In previous years I’ve usually gone on a weekend and made sure I got there around 9am and parked in the regular parking lots – spend the morning looking around OSJ and then enjoy the festival in the afternoon early evening, Note: it does get kinda crazy at night
