On the Road Again - Plan the Best Route for Your Journey to Sun City Music Festival
Sun City Music Festival is only days away now and whether you’re arriving by plane, train, automobile, or a magic carpet, it always helps to know where you’re going – especially if you’re coming in from out of town. Save yourself some time and trouble with this quick reference guide to help you plan the perfect route to Ascarate Park.
Ascarate Park
SCMF is returning to Ascarate Park once again this year and even as the festival continues to grow, the location remains a perfect backdrop for the two-day experience. As El Paso County’s largest public recreational park, the 448 acres provide wide, open spaces for our three stages, vendors, art installations, and more.
Wait – Where am I Again?
Don’t get lost. Get directions. Ascarate Park can be accessed by the I-10 East, I-10 West, and highway TX-375 so plan your best route and map your SCMF journey from your exact starting location. Ascarate Park is located at 6900 Delta Dr, El Paso, TX 79905.
What’s the Deal With Parking?
Plenty of parking will be available at the venue and will cost you only $5.00 per vehicle (cash only) each day. The lots open at 4:00 PM and close at 3:00 AM. We know you want to soak up as much SCMF as you can, but camping, sleeping cars, and tailgating on the grounds is NOT permitted. And remember to carpool! Not only is carpooling eco-friendly, it’s also way more fun.
Hey Taxi!
There’s no need to yell! Call a taxi before you you head out. Here’s some of El Paso’s taxi cab companies.
- Border Cab Co. 915-533-4245
- Sun City Cab Co. 915-544-2211
- United Independent Cab Co. 915-590-8294
Uber
Your personal driver is just few taps away with Uber in Elp Paso, available on iOS and Android devices. New to Uber? Use coupon FIRSTRIDE30 to save $30 on your first ride!
Hop on the bus Gus!
El Paso’s Sun Metro provides drop-offs right by the venue on Route 23 and Route 24. A day pass is $3.50 and can be purchased on the bus. Plan ahead and map the best metro route from your location to the venue.
Let the Beat Control Your Feet and Dance Responsibly at Sun City Music Festival
We’re about to enjoy another year of Sun City Music Festival at Ascarate Park this Labor Day weekend, but before the gates open and before the beat drops, we’ve got some helpful tips, tricks and information to ensure you and your friends stay safe and responsible out on the dance floor.
Stay Hydrated
There will be a lot of dancing at this year’s event and sometimes people will get sick from overheating and dehydration. We encourage you to drink lots of water, but remember drinking too much water can be dangerous! Accidents surrounding music events have been associated with low levels of electrolytes that are lost along with water when one becomes dehydrated. Such low levels of electrolytes, especially salt, can lead to brain swelling, seizures, heart problems and even death. So be sure to alternate between water and sports drinks that will be provided for you.
Costumes Encouraged
We will have world renowned artists pumping great music all night, so be sure to wear something comfortable, lightweight and easy to dance in. Dark colors absorb heat rays, so avoid wearing all dark clothes. You should also steer away from heavy fabrics and faux furs, always remembering that comfortable tennis shoes are the best option on the dance floor.
Find Your Buddy
Sun City Music Festival brings thousands upon thousands of amazing people from across the world, so it could be really easy to get separated from your group due to the sheer size of the event. Always keep track of where your friends are by setting up meeting points and sticking together. Look out for one another. If you and your friends have been sweating, grab some water for the group to replenish nutrients lost – you can’t live off dancing alone. We will have personnel stationed around the grounds, so be sure to ask for help if you or one of your friends needs it.
Is There A Doctor In The House?
Medical personnel will not only be readily accessible but ready to assist you at any time in the medical tent. From Band-Aids to aspirin, assistance is available to you should you need anything at all. Gatorade will also be made available upon request. If you are feeling unwell, seek medical attention immediately. Your health and safety is more important than waiting for the drop.
