Take Metro to PrideFest 2017 in Downtown St. Louis
Metro is the perfect transportation option for those planning to attend PrideFest 2017 in downtown St. Louis this weekend, June 23-25. Festival-goers can avoid parking hassles, detours and traffic by leaving their vehicle at any one of 21 free Metro Park-Ride lots in Missouri and Illinois. Then, it is a quick train ride on MetroLink to the Union Station or Civic Center MetroLink Stations, both located a few blocks south of the festival grounds at Soldier’s Memorial.
MetroBus is also a great option to reach PrideFest this weekend. Festival-goers can ride on one of more than a dozen MetroBus routes to 18th & Clark Streets, near Union Station, and walk a couple blocks north to Soldier’s Memorial.
