The MetroRail is not running on the weekends due to construction.
There is no parking at Zilker Park and you cannot park on neighborhood streets and you will be towed.
If you want to drive, park downtown and take the free shuttle to ACL.
To avoid traffic if you're not attending the festival, avoid South Lamar just south of the river, Riverside near Zilker Park and MoPac near the park as well.
