MetroLink will operate on a weekend schedule with both Red Line and Blue Line service at Stadium Station, with trains arriving and departing every 10 minutes.

• Eastbound to Fairview Heights: 12:28 a.m.
• Westbound to Shrewsbury: 11:53 p.m.

Music at the Intersection

This two-day music festival takes place in the Grand Center Arts District and features local and national artists. The Grand MetroLink Station is less than a 10-minute walk from the main stage. MetroBus is also a great option, with the #70 Grand, #10 Gravois-Lindell, #94 Page and #97 Delmar MetroBus routes all having stops near the festival. The festival runs from noon to 11 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, so choose which day works best for you and enjoy the show.

St. Louis Art Fair

From colorful paintings to intricate sculptures, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at the St. Louis Art Fair in Clayton, now in its 30^th year. If you’re worried about navigating through traffic and searching for parking, don’t let that stop you from attending this incredible event. Instead, consider using Metro Transit to get there. The Clayton MetroLink Station is less than a 5-minute walk from the action.
