GETTING TO STEELE INDIAN SCHOOL PARK

Steele Indian School Park is near Central Avenue and Indian School Road. The address is 300 E. Indian School Road, but it is important to note that festivalgoers will not be able to park at the venue -- there is no parking available.

Parking within the nearby neighborhoods is also off limits. Law enforcement will be monitoring neighborhoods for illegal parking, according to City of Phoenix website. You can report illegal parking via a special hotline, 602-288-9589.

Instead, festival organizers are encouraging people to use the light rail or a ride-share company to get to the park. (Lyft is the official partner for Lost Lake Fest.)

Valley Metro light rail & Park and Ride: There are 11 park-and-ride lots throughout the Valley. People can park at each lot for free and then take the train to the festival.

If you have a Lost Lake ticket, you do not need to buy a light rail pass. Your ticket is your light rail pass. If not, regular fare is $4 roundtrip.

There are two light rail platforms closest to Steele Indian School Park:

  • Indian School Road and Central Avenue
  • Campbell and Central avenues

Ride-share: As the official partner of Lost Lake, Lyft will have two designated drop-off and pick-up locations:

  • The main location will be at urban garden Agave Farms -- 4300 N. Central Avenue -- near Central and Glenrosa avenues.
  • A secondary location will be Second Avenue between Indian School Road and Indianola Avenue.

Bike valet: For those close enough to ride their bikes to Steele Indian School Park, there will be a place to store it. The festival will have free bike valet.

Fee-based shuttle: Plus One, a private shuttle company, will have shuttle services to and from the festival grounds. The cost is $30, plus fees, per person. View schedule.

Pick-up and drop-off locations:

  • El Hefe (Tempe)
  • Bottled Blonde (Scottsdale)

WHAT TO EXPECT AT SECURITY

In light of the tragedy at a country music festival in Las Vegas, officials and police are paying special attention to security ahead of Lost Lake.

Festivalgoers should expect to go through metal detectors, pat-downs and have their bags searched before entering the festival grounds.

Items allowed into the festival: Blankets, 12-pack-sized coolers, empty hydration backpacks, and two-liter-sized sealed water bottles.

Items not allowed into the festival: Weapons, drugs, chairs, selfie sticks, cans (of any kind), skateboards, scooters, fireworks.

Officials are also asking attendees to follow the "see something, say something" rule. If you see something strange, let security officials know, or call 911.
