There are three entrances to ACL Festival, with options to approach Zilker Park from the north, east, and west.
From the north, walk or bike across the pedestrian bridge under Mopac to approach the Festival’s Lady Bird Entrance.
From the east or west, approach Zilker Park on Barton Springs Road to reach a festival entrance.
New for 2026* - Family Entrance Lane
There will be a dedicated family lane at the Barton Springs East entrance for families with small children to utilize. This differs from the family entrance from years past. If you are approaching the festival on Barton Springs road, please follow the directions of staff and the signage at the far right side of the Barton Springs East entrance to be directed to the family lane.
