Strathcona County will provide shuttle services directly to the festival from the Coliseum LRT station, with regular ETS fares applying. Park-and-ride buses will operate approximately every 10 minutes.

Park & Ride buses run approximately every 10 minutes between:

• 11:30am – 9:30pm on August 3       
• 9:30am – 9:30pm on August 4
• 9:30am – 8:30pm on August 5
