Founded in 1996, JazzFest West has strived to bring world-class Jazz musicians to Southern California music fans. 2016 will be our 20th Anniversary. Throughout the years, we have called many places our home (Central Park & Brookside Park in Pasadena, then the LA County Arboretum in Arcadia) but for the past 9 years, the beautiful Frank G. Bonelli Park in San Dimas is where it all happens!
Bonelli Regional Park is a scenic 1,800 acre facility featuring a 250 acre lake with 14 miles of multi-use trails. Home to the Raging Waters waterpark, Bonelli Park offers a wide variety of recreational activities, including boating, jet skiing, fishing, swimming, family and group picnicking, nature walks, hiking, jogging, and biking. There are also concessionaires offering RV Camping, Hot Tubs, Wedding Facilities, and Horse Back Riding. Throughout the year, annual special events are conducted including fishing tournaments, concerts, triathlons, water sports and cultural events.
JazzFest West has been honored to feature an incredible mix of contemporary jazz, classic R&B and soul artists at the festival, including Charlie Wilson, Jill Scott, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Maze ft. Frankie Beverly, Teena Marie, Boney James, Erykah Badu, George Duke and The O’Jays. Attendees will enjoy two stages of live music, delicious eats from the International Food Court, shopping in the Vendor Village and a dance party all day long!
The parking lot for Gold ticketholders is located backstage. Please enter Bonelli Park through the WEST GATE (57 FWY at Via Verde Dr.). You will be entering the festival from a backstage entrance where only Gold ticket holders can be accommodated (One GOLD parking pass per 4 tickets purchased. 1 parking pass maximum per household, per day).
VIP parking will be located in Lot 1, and VIP parking is only available to VIP ticketholders (one parking pass per four VIP tickets purchased, per household). If you have purchased a VIP parking pass in advance, please enter Bonelli Park from the WEST GATE (57 FWY at Via Verde Dr.). Please note there is a limited supply available. Passes are sold out, we suggest purchasing a Preferred Parking pass.
Preferred parking is available in Lots 3 & 4 (at the end of Fisherman’s Road), and these lots will be serviced by quick-loading trams, dropping off at the Food Court Entrance. If you took a tram to the entrance, you will return to your car on a tram. Please enter Bonelli Park from the EAST GATE (10 FWY at Fairplex Dr.), follow the signs and turn left into Bonelli Park at Via Verde DrivePreferred Parking Passes are available for purchase online prior to the event, and can be purchased the day of the event, while supplies last.
When Preferred Parking lots are filled, we will park concertgoers in the General Admission parking lots (near the corner of Via Verde Drive & Fairplex Drive.) Free shuttle buses will deliver attendees to the Main Entrance of the festival; please review the Festival Guidelines prior to boarding the shuttle buses. Exit the 10 Freeway at Fairplex Drive, travel north and follow signs for FESTIVAL PARKING.
There is no designated motorcycle parking at Bonelli Park or at the off-site parking. If you purchased a Preferred Parking Pass in advance, you will park in a designated vehicle parking space. If you were unable to purchase a Preferred Pass, there is ample parking at the off-site parking lots.
Limited Supply Available Day-of-Show Only
ADA parking will be located in Lot 2 (spaces are limited; the lot will fill up). The ADA Lot is adjacent to the Food Court entrance, and is the closest parking lot to the festival. To purchase ADA parking, please enter from the EAST GATE (10 FWY at Fairplex Drive). All appropriate state issued auto identification is required and will be reviewed by security. ADA parking is only available day-of-show, and overflow ADA parking will be directed offsite, where plenty of ADA parking is available.
