Question
How will we get to and from the venue?
Answer
Chabot (venue) is located within Redwood Regional Park and requires driving through curvy roads to get to the top. There will be a complimentary shuttle service going to and from the venue. Pick-up will start at our host hotel. Shuttle: You may park at our host hotel (parking will cost $$) and catch the complimentary shuttle from the hotel to venue and back. Venue Parking: There is also plentiful free parking at the venue for those who plan on driving (and not drinking!). Guests may leave cars overnight if needed. Security will be provided at the venue. Rideshare: Give yourself ~30 minutes prior to leaving the venue to call your uber. Saturday nights are busy and ubers/lyfts may take a while to get up the hill. (You can also call rideshare from the after-party!)
