The LouFest Music Festival in Forest Park is the place to be this weekend (August 25-26) if you love music, like to eat, and support a green lifestyle. Metro Transit is offering extra service to get you there.

The #3 Forest Park Trolley will connect the Forest Park-DeBaliviere MetroLink Station to LouFest from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Saturday and on Sunday. Starting at 7:20 p.m., Metro will operate a LouFest shuttle between the Forest Park-DeBaliviere Station and the LouFest Music Festival at Central Field. The last shuttle from LouFest each night is at 10:55 p.m.

The trolley/shuttle ticket is $2 for adults and can be used all day and night. You don’t need to buy a trolley/shuttle ticket if you have a valid Metro pass. More information including  schedules and Forest Park Trolley and LouFest shuttle maps are on our website.

It should be a fun-packed weekend with local, regional, and national bands performing on three different stages. In addition to transit service, the greening effort at the two-day event in Forest Park includes recycling, composting, free valet bike parking, and a refillable water station.
