Parking & Drop-Offs
Nocturnal Wonderland takes place at Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino, CA. Accessible via the I-15 or I-215 only, please follow event traffic and parking staff directions upon arrival. This will help ensure smooth traffic flow and faster parking. Expect delays during peak hours in the San Bernardino area, and plan accordingly with early arrivals and extra travel time.
General Parking
General Parking on festival days (Saturday 9/14 and Sunday 9/15) is free, and will open at 12pm each day. Carpooling is HIGHLY encouraged. There are multiple parking lots at the venue, designated by color. Look for the color signs as you exit your lot. Pro-Tip: Drop a GPS pin or take a screenshot of your location when parked to help you remember where you’re parked.
Do not park in any unofficial lots outside of the festival and venue map. Pedestrian pathways will be clearly marked to and from all affiliated lots. Do not park or walk outside of those designated areas; it is dangerous for pedestrians and vehicles, and the CHP will rigorously enforce this restriction.
