Travel & Transportation
Getting to the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival at Erindale Park is easy, with plenty of transportation options available. Review the information below to help plan your trip and ensure a smooth arrival.
Festival parking is available on the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) campus, a short walk from the festival grounds via Culham Trail. Only lots P4, P8, P11, and Alumni House are designated for GOCF event parking — parking is first-come, first-served and access will be restricted once capacity is reached, so arrive early. On Friday, September 11 parking is extremely limited, as it remains a school day at UTM. Enter campus at The Collegeway or Middle Entrance. Note: P4 and P8 have two-level parking decks with a posted maximum clearance of 7 feet on the lower level — vehicles exceeding this must not enter those areas.
Parking is $25 flat rate for matinee or evening shows on Saturday and Sunday, and $40 flat rate for same-day multi-shows on Saturday and Sunday (not available after 4pm). All sales are final, no refunds, and no overnight or re-entry is permitted — Security Services and Peel Police will be monitoring all entrances.
Micromobility parking will be available in Erindale Park near the festival entry.
Park in the South Lot at Clarkson Station, then head to the designated pickup/drop-off area on the south side of the tracks, right next to the lot, where the shuttle will be waiting to take you straight to the festival.
Pick-ups and drop-offs are not permitted on campus during event days. All weekend, rideshare will be available in both directions along Dundas St near the park.
Bike racks are available near the entry (park at your own discretion). Attendees can walk to the event via the sidewalks along Mississauga Road and Dundas Street, or via Culham Trail, accessible from lot P11.
