KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Kaskade at Santa Monica Pier

KASKADE

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4
Santa Monica Pier

Doors Open: 6:00 PM
Event Starts: 6:00 PM

Important Note

This show is by the beach, on the Friday of Labor Day Weekend.

Please anticipate extremely heavy traffic with long-weekend beachgoers, on top of regular Friday afternoon traffic.

Arrive Early (Ideally Not By Car)

It's highly recommended to use alternative transportation instead of driving, and to arrive when doors open so you don't miss any part of the event. See transportation options below to start planning.

Plan Your Transportation

Tap a section below for details on each option.

Go Metro Recommended

Metro is the best way to get here. Trains run until 45 minutes after the venue curfew at 10:30 PM, and the entrance is just a short 0.4-mile walk from the station.

  • Take the Expo "E" Line to Downtown Santa Monica.
  • Follow signs to Ocean Ave & Bicknell Ave.
  • Park-and-ride lots are available along the E Line.
  • Buy round-trip fare in advance and load your TAP card before arriving to skip the lines.
  • Plan your trip with Google Maps, Apple Maps, the Transit app, and metro.net.
TAP Pro Tip: Save time and skip the line! Download the TAP app or load your TAP card with round-trip fare before the event to avoid long lines at TAP vending machines afterward.
Bicycles

Santa Monica is bike-friendly, with dedicated bike paths throughout the city and along the Metro Expo "E" Line corridor.

  • Convenient bike parking and bike valet service are available in Lot 4S located south of venue entrance.
  • Enter via the Bike/E-Bike/Scooter entrance at Ocean Ave & Hollister Ave.
    • Follow the venue wayfinding signs.
Scooters / E-Bikes

Scooters and e-bikes offer a convenient way to travel to and from the venue while enjoying the area's bike lanes, beachfront paths, and ocean views along the way.

  • Veo and Spin operate in Santa Monica. Download their apps to find nearby rides.
  • Follow local regulations and park in designated areas upon arrival.
