Getting Around
Flying In
When booking your flights to travel to CAAMFest, San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the closest airport to the primary festival venues and hotels. Oakland International Airport is located about 30 minutes via BART and 45 minutes by car, depending on traffic. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC) airport is located in San Jose, about one hour drive from downtown San Francisco.
Getting To The Festival
CAAMFest 2025 will be held in person in San Francisco’s Japantown, Civic Center, South of Market, and Mission Districts. A complete list of CAAMFest venues and addresses can be found here.
Public Transportation
We strongly encourage the use of public transportation as San Francisco traffic is unpredictable and parking can be a challenge. All venues are easily accessible by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and MUNI bus lines. For schedules and fares, please visit BART.gov and 511 Transit Trip Planner, also available as an app. San Francisco Bay Ferry also has service from downtown San Francisco to Oakland for those who prefer to travel over the Bay in a cool, calm and comfortable way.
