Directions|        Late Night Eats

Note: ALL CLASSES and MAIN DANCES will be held at City College of San Francisco's new Community Wellness Center. If you've been to Down Home Blues in the past, this is not the same building!
This is a new building easily seen from Ocean Avenue. All LATE NIGHT dances will be at Studio Gracia (the usual Friday Night Blues venue). Read more about the venues below.

Airports
The best airports to fly into San Francisco for the event are either SFO or OAK. If you're renting a car and driving, take I-80 W from OAK into San Francisco or take US-101 N from SFO to San Francisco. BART is also a good method of transportation. See more info on BART below.



Using BART
You can find more info on the BART system at: http://www.bart.gov

From the airport:
BART runs directly from SFO to any of the stops in the city.
If you're flying into OAK, you'll need to take the AirBART shuttle from the airport to the BART station. The cost is about $3 and they only take correct change (so bring some dollar bills).

Going to CCSF:
Take the BART to Balboa Park
Go NORTH Cross the freeway and you'll be on Ocean Ave.
Follow campus directions to the Wellness Center

Map
Where is the new Community Wellness Center?
It's located directly off Ocean Avenue. Take a look at the CCSF Map (Select Ocean Campus) note that the North direction is to the left (where you think West would be), so turn your head to the side to compare this map to Google's.)

Parking: On the CCSF Map of the campus, you'll see parking areas designated. The "C" lot behind the Wellness Center is closest, but you can also use "A" lot and walk over from there. There are also a few parking spots right next to the building and around the "circle" above the building (expect these to go quicly).
We recommed that you buy one of the $2 day passes at the yellow boxes scattered throughout the parking lots. However, it is a weekend and school is not in session, so you could take your chances. We couldn't get an answer form the campus police about whether they were checking parking passes or not this weekend.
