Bicycle: Valet bike parking will be provided at the book fair by the SF Bicycle Coalition.
Bus/Metro: The N-Judah metro line stops at Irving Street and 9th Avenue, a little over 1 block from the County Fair Building (from the N stop, walk north on 9th Avenue 1 block and into the park). Muni offers convenient connections to the park from transit stops throughout the city. See the Muni system map (PDF); use 511.org’s transit trip planner for detailed directions.

Assess to the south entrance is at Concourse Dr. & Martin Luther King Dr, inside the park. Garage is open 7:30 am – 10 pm ($3 hr). There’s also quite a bit of time-limited parking along MLK Jr. Drive and side streets within the park.

The main entrance to the Strybing Botanical Gardens & Arboretum is on South Dr. right next door to the County Fair Building.
