Getting Around Mural Fest

Transit & Trails

Skip the parking hunt! Festival HQ (151 W Commonwealth Ave) is next to the Central Pointe Station. Get your free transit passes at City Hall.

If you prefer to bike, take Parley's Trail directly to Commonwealth Ave. Once you arrive, take advantage of our FREE Bike Valet at HQ. It's secure, convenient, and keeps you ready to hop back on for the Sweet Streets group ride at 2:30 PM!

Sweet Streets Bike Ride

The Big Ride: Join the organized group ride starting at 2:30 pm. We'll be heading counter-clockwise through the city to hit the newest additions. Meet at the HQ to start the ride.
Go At Your Own Pace: Prefer to fly solo? Sweet Streets put together the best bikeable map to get to a few of the murals on May 9th. Follow the route on your own time, or meet the Sweet Streets team at their booth and they will guide you on the right path.

SLC Photo Community

The Walk: Join the Salt Lake Photo Community for a fun photo walk experience to explore the murals and energy of the festival at 2:30pm. This is not a guided tour, but a shared exploration where photographers of all levels can connect, learn from each other, and create together.
Pro Tip: Want to see "behind the scenes"? Artist will be painting all week from May 4th through May 8th. Swing by early in the week to capture the process before the big reveal! Keep an eye out on SLC Photo Community for more information.

Walking Map

For those who want a personal experience, our 2026 Mural Map is your best friend. It is designed to keep you in the heart of the action with the highest density of murals within walking distance of Festival HQ.

Fun Bus

The Fun Bus will be looping through South Salt Lake all day, stopping at most of the 11 new murals. It's the easiest way to see the "far-out" murals and still get back to the Beer Garden at HQ to enjoy the music.

You can find all of this information on our Mural Fest FAQ's page.
