Sun Trolley — This service provides FREE shuttle service between the Fort Lauderdale airport and downtown Fort Lauderdale, but only operates on Saturdays and Sundays between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The final departure from downtown to the airport leaves at 4:30. The shuttle will drop you on Himmarshee Street (SW 2nd Street) downtown within walking distance to the festival.http://www.SunTrolley.com
Check out the Super Shuttle to get cheap, quick, reliable access from the Miami or Fort Lauderdale airport to downtown Fort Lauderdale. (SUPER SHUTTLE DOES NOT PICK UP AT FLL) http://www.supershuttle.com
There is also a commuter train for those who fly into Miami, known as the Tri-Rail Commuter Train Service. Typically you can get round trip service on the train for as little as $10 and under. http://www.tri-rail.com. Check out the Broward County Transit for Metro bus options, maps and schedules http://www.broward.org/BCT. We are located directly across the street from the central terminal.
As always, taxis are available at both the Fort Lauderdale and Miami Airport — they just might not be the most cost effective option!
PARKING
There are plenty of parking options for those driving to Backyard, but we do encourage carpooling to save money, gas and, obviously, the environment! Also, there are taxis and other public transportation options like the Sun Trolley in the downtown area if you’re trying to avoid driving/parking.
