TFA Transportation & Parking
A Park and Ride Shuttle, sponsored by CarStar, will travel between venues every 30 minutes, so you can park once and ride free all day. The free lot is at 155 North Broadway (catty corner from Orpheum) and is first come first serve.
Many of our venues are located on the Q-line route – a free trolley that gets you where you need to go throughout Downtown Wichita. Look for the Q emblem on the sidewalk and take a free ride down Douglas. Details on route and schedule available at wichitatransit.org.
Uber and Lyft are also available.
Metered parking is available on the street for a fee during weekdays but is free after 5:00 p.m. and on weekends. Orpheum parking is free on the weekend of the festival. Accessible parking is available at each venue.
Virtual Cinema How-To
A majority of the films in our program will be available both online and in person but some films are only available in certain regions or not available online at all. To check to see if the film you want to see is available online check the film guide on Eventive. Globally means you can watch it everywhere (on Earth), USA, you can see it anywhere in the States, Kansas means only in the Land of Oz, and Not available is for films that are ONLY playing in-person at the festival.
