Train
Avoid the traffic by using the Amtrak Hiawatha train service between the Chicago area and Milwaukee (including Racine and Kenosha). Get on the train from Chicago's Union Station, Glenview or Sturtevant and get dropped off at the downtown Milwaukee Intermodal Station. For details, prices and timetables, visit amtrakhiawatha.com. The Milwaukee Airport Railroad Station serves rail passengers connecting to flights at General Mitchell International Airport (Milwaukee), along with rail-only passengers utilizing Amtrak's Hiawatha Service.

MCTS Bus Service
The Milwaukee County Transit System will not be offering their seasonal festival summer service this year (no Park and Rides or Freeway Flyers). The cancellation of service is due to a labor shortage, according to MCTS.

Festivalgoers will still be able to ride the normal bus routes that operate all year long. Anyone wanting to utilize a bus service to get to Irish Fest can ride the MCTS GoldLine, GreenLine, Route 15, Route 30, or Route 33. All of these stops get you within walking distance to the festival park.
