MUSIC FEST VOLUNTEERS: FREE SHUTTLE BUSES AND PARKING INFORMATION

• Free volunteer shuttle buses will run every 15-25 mins Friday and Saturday from 11:30am until midnight each night.
• Volunteers may park in Lot A at Prior Lake High School. Lot A may be accessed using 150th Street. Once on campus, signs will direct you to Volunteer lot A. 
• We request that volunteers only use Lot A the night they are volunteering. We will not issue a pass to park, but hope you honor our request. You may use any other parking lot if you choose to attend the night you are not scheduled to volunteer. If you find Lot A full, park in the lower lot instead and walk to the volunteer shuttle bus stop which will be at the high school activities center doorway.
• The volunteer parking lot does not have handicap accessible transportation.
• Volunteers can also park at La Ola Del Lago Elementary School (formerly Grainwood) or Westwood Elementary.

RIDE SHARE
Arriving via Uber & Lyft - Drop off will be at Prior Lake High School or Twin Oaks Middle School. People will then take shuttles from these locations.
NEW: There will be no drop off at the park as in the past.
Leaving via Uber & Lyft - There will be no option to be picked up at Lakefront Park, Main Avenue, Dakota, County Road 21, or TH 13.  Ride share pickups will take place at Prior Lake High School or Twin Oaks Middle School, so Uber/Lyft riders should take shuttle bus to either of those lots.

MOTORCYCLE PARKING
Free motorcycle parking will be available at the Prior Lake High School.
 
Parking in downtown Prior Lake is not recommended as it will be very limited. We hope you will be considerate of our business neighbors and not park at nearby retail outlets, or impede access to private driveways of area homes.
