Plan Your Trip to WinterFest

Parking in busy areas, especially during holiday shopping times, can be a seasonal nightmare. Instead, park your vehicle at any of the free Park-Ride lots at MetroLink Stations in Missouri and Illinois and RIDE ON to Winterfest.

Hop on MetroLInk to the Stadium MetroLink Station, located just a couple blocks south of Winterfest festivities at Kiener Plaza. (Please note: the 8th & Pine MetroLink Station remains closed due to construction.)  

Be sure to download the free Transit App for route info and real-time arrivals, and contact our Transit Information team at 314.207.9786 (text) or 314.231.2345 (phone) for assistance.

Metro is not just a mode of transportation—it’s your partner in making the most of community events and holiday festivities. See you at WinterFest!
