Getting Here & Green Future

To plan your itinerary
Google Maps and Transit (iPhone and Android) are recommended apps to plan your trip to and from the Festival. Both help you visualize the paths to follow, the departure times and the stops.

Walking
The area surrounding Mackin Park is equipped with sidewalks and pedestrian crossings. It's easy and safe for you to come celebrate with us!

Biking
A section of the park will be designated to secure your bike. Plan your trip using the “cycling” section of the City of Coquitlam’s website. Bikes can be used in combination with the bus or the Skytrain.

Public Transit
If you can prove you used public transit to get to the event, you can visit the sales kiosk and get a free reusable water bottle.

Skytrain
To get to Mackin Park using Skytrain, take the EXPO Line to Braid Station, then take the bus (line 153 or 156) or use your bike to complete the remaining distance (1.8 k).

Bus
Several bus stops are located near the park. The bus lines are the 153, 156 and 157.

Carpooling
To pair you with the right driver or passenger, an online form is available on our website.
