Update: Shuttles will not stop at The Boathouse due to road a closure. Instead, the shuttle will make stops at the World’s Fair Pavilion, Pagoda Circle by The Muny and the Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor Center.

Metro has partnered with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra to make it easy for you to enjoy a free concert under the night sky in Forest Park next week.

On Wednesday, September 13, hop on a MetroBus shuttle and ride for free to the Symphony’s concert at Art Hill, which starts at 7 p.m. and includes classical favorites and a fireworks show to end the night.

Instead of worrying about parking, traffic or walking long distances, park at any one of 21 free Metro Park-Ride lots in Missouri and Illinois, ride MetroLink to the Forest Park-DeBaliviere MetroLink Station, and then hop on the special MetroBus shuttle for a free, quick and convenient trip to the concert.

The shuttle pick-up and drop-off area will be located near the Forest Park-DeBaliviere Station on DeBaliviere Avenue. The shuttles will operate every 15 minutes between 5:25 p.m. and 9:40 p.m., and they will make stops at the Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor Center parking lots, Pagoda Circle by The Muny and World’s Fair Pavilion as they travel between the Forest Park-DeBaliviere Station and the concert venue on Art Hill. The last shuttle returning to the Forest Park-DeBaliviere Station after the concert ends will leave at 9:40 p.m.

Please note that while the concert MetroBus shuttle is free to ride, a paid ticket or pass is required to ride regular MetroLink or MetroBus service.
