How does everybody get to and from the various activities?
It depends. Some drive and have their own vehicle with them. Others rent a car at the airport.
However, many have found that Pinkfest is do-able and very enjoyable without having a car. Several Pinkfest activities are within easy walking distance from the popular hotels. Most of the others are close to subway, El, and Metra stations. History has shown that these methods of transportation are very "safe" to use.
The occasional taxi ride is often times quite less expensive than the cost of a rental car and parking.
For those who are uneasy taking public transportation, rides (at the rider's own risk, of course) will usually be available from others.
