Falls Festival Car Passes and Travel

Falls is edging closer and now is the time to start planning your travel! Coastal towns get really busy over summer, so in an effort to ease traffic on the roads leading to Falls in Byron and Lorne and to ensure the farms have lots of space onsite, we've introduced a car pass system. Any ticket holders entering the Lorne or Byron festival by vehicle will require a pre-purchased car pass, and in a bid to encourage carpooling we'll provide refunds onsite to those who arrive with 3-4 ticket holders in their vehicle. Read all of the options available below and start planning you road trips!
