It’s easy to get to the Toronto Island Park. If you are driving, take Lakeshore Boulevard to Bay Street and go south on Bay to Queens Quay. The ferry docks are right beside the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel. There are plenty of parking lots in the area and they are all too expensive. Take the TTC instead. Take the subway or GO to Union Station. From there you can take a short walk over to the ferry dock or take the 509 Harbourfront streetcar to the ferry docks. Take the Centre Island Ferry. The ferry fees are included in your festival ticket. Have fun!
