Parking & biking information
Parking is available in the Main Street municipal lots and all day but they will fill up around 10:30am and after noon it will be congested.
Parking is available at the beach lots only two blocks away for $6, but they will get busy around 1:30pm.
FREE SHUTTLE
The Big Blue Bus will be running a FREE SHUTTLE every 15 minutes from the Civic Center Parking Garage (that's the new garage) to Main Street for the Summer SOULstice event. The Garage is on 4th street between Pico and Colorado, just south of the exit off the 10 West. (How convenient is that?!!)
Parking at the Civic Center garage and taking the FREE SHUTTLE is the best way to park and avoid the traffic crunch, especially if you're coming at 1pm. The shuttle will run til 7pm (but the Tide shuttle and the #2 bus run later: see below.
If you park in the garage and miss the shuttle and don't want to wait 15 minutes, there's a #2 bus stop only yards away and that also runs to Main Street.
This Shuttle will run until 7pm, but the Tide, which also connects Main Street to the Civic Center Garage area, runs til 8pm, and the #2 bus runs til 10:30pm, so you don't have to leave Main Street at 7pm.
BIKE VALET
Last summer the City of Santa Monica started a bike valet program for and during the Sunday Main Street Farmer's Market. It operates adjacent to the market, on Main Street, south of Ocean Park Blvd.
They've agreed to EXTEND THE HOURS, so the bike valet will be operating Sunday, June 24th, til 7:30pm. (How convenient is that?!!)
The City of Santa Monica encourages you to bike and use public transit.
Big Blue Bus links:
Santa Monica Blvd route from UCLA-Westwood thru Santa Monica to Venice and back
This is the #2 bus that stops near the Civic Center parking garage and will run til 10:30pm.
Wilshire Blvd., down 4th (past the Civic Center Parking Garage, to Main Street, then Venice and back
The Tide Shuttle also runs on Sundays, til 8pm
