Harvard Sports Complex, Allston, MA map
Main Entrance is located at 65 N. Harvard St., Allston, MA and we highly recommend taking the T (Red Line) to the Harvard Square station. From there it’s an easy 10 minute walk to the main entrance.
The 66 and 86 buses will drop you off right outside the stadium gates, and the Boston Landing Station via the Worcester commuter rail is about a mile away.
Street parking will be closed off around festival grounds, but Lyfts, Ubers, and the like will be directed to a designated rideshare pickup lot at the end of the night.
