Transportation & Parking
If you haven't been to XOXO before, the festival is in one of the most walkable neighborhoods of the city. Portland is one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world, with solid options for public transit.
Note that we aren't running a shuttle this year, which was convenient at times, but inefficient and expensive with a high carbon footprint.
Public Transit
The City of Portland offers excellent, affordable public transportation, and we encourage everyone to use it. All our buses use Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay, with no prepurchase of tickets necessary. Just tap your phone when you board. Use Google Maps transit directions for suggested routes and real-time tracking of TriMet buses and MAX, our light rail.
Bike Share
Portland is great for biking! For short-term rides, you can use BIKETOWN (or the Lyft app) to rent bikes from stations conveniently located all over Portland, including on the east side of Washington High.
Scooter Share
Only two companies remain in Portland offering e-scooter rentals: Lime and BIKETOWN (now owned by Lyft). If you ride them, please use bike lanes where possible and stay off the sidewalks.
Walking
If you're able, everything's pretty walkable. When the weather's nice, walking from Revolution Hall to the downtown hotels is about 40 minutes — from the Jupiter Hotel, it's only about 12 minutes. In a pinch, use Google's walking directions. (Cross the Morrison Bridge from SE Water Ave between Belmont and Yamhill, or either side of the Burnside Bridge.)
Parking
Bike parking will be available on-site by the park entrance, as well as around the perimeter of Washington High.
Because of limited parking, avoid driving your own car to XOXO if you can. Parking for XOXO attendees is available in Revolution Hall's gravel parking lot on SE 14th for $10/day, payable via QR code, with limited hours: Friday after 6pm and Saturday after 12pm. It is not available to XOXO attendees on Thursday.
Please avoid using the neighborhood's limited street parking.
