Attending Real Festival from 2-3 November is even easier with Busways offering patrons a quick and easy travel option to the event.
A free shuttle service will pick up and drop off passengers at four key locations across Penrith and run continuously between 5pm-11pm on Friday and 2pm-11pm on Saturday.
Assistant Operations Manager at Busways Blacktown, Melissa Mobbs said they are thrilled to be partnering with Penrith Council as the main transport provider for Real Festival.
"We're proud to support local events like Real Festival and we hope we can play an active role in helping people get the most enjoyment out of their day," Melissa said.
"Busways celebrates 75 years of service to local communities across NSW this year and Real Festival is an opportunity for us to continue building ties with the community in a positive way."
Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said it's important for Festival patrons to plan their travel ahead of time, so they don't miss a moment of the free activities, entertainment and experiences on offer.
"The Real Festival website is the best place to start planning your trip to the event as it has information on free parking, public transport services, road closures and the shuttle bus timetable," Cr Fowler said.
"The shuttle buses are accessible and can accommodate prams and strollers. If you want a quick and easy trip to the Festival, and prefer to leave the car at home, then using a shuttle is a great option."
There are a number of transport options for Real Festival including driving, public transport, getting picked up and dropped off, walking and shuttle buses.
Real Festival is proudly produced by Penrith City Council with the support of Busways, Seven News, Western Weekender and the NSW Government's tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
