EF4F 2026 FAQ
(Note that we also highly recommend reading through the Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel’s FAQ page here.)
What is the best way to travel from the airport to the hotel?
The most economical way is to take New Jersey Transit from the Newark Liberty Airport station, which offers train service to and from Asbury Park. At Newark Liberty Airport, take the Air Train to the Newark Liberty Airport station, which provides access to the Jersey Coast Line and, ultimately, the Asbury Park station. From there, cabs are available for hire at the station that can be taken to the hotel. Visit New Jersey Transit for more information or download the NJ TRANSIT app.
You can also travel via cab or Uber/Lyft to and from the airport at a higher cost.
What parking options are available at or around the hotel?
The Berkeley will offer valet parking at a discounted rate for festival goers. Public and street parking is available all around the hotel and throughout Asbury Park. More info on that can be found here. If you choose to park at a metered spot, we highly recommend downloading the “Asbury PARK” app that allows you to monitor your time, pay, extend, and cancel parking all from your phone.
What time does EF4F start and how long does it run each day?
The festival runs:
Friday, Nov. 6th: 9 AM – 10 PM ET

Can I purchase tickets at the door?
Yes, tickets can be purchased at the door. Note that only weekend passholders are guaranteed a seat at the evening concerts, but there will be standing room available.
Can I purchase meet & greet tickets separately from full event tickets?
