Park & Ride with CapMetro!

Come for the 10:00 a.m. parade and park your vehicle for the entire day! Park it! Ride it! It's FREE and it's Simple! Beginning immediately after the parade three air-conditioned buses will begin taking riders to the Bar-K Recreational Park directly from the parade route. The largest parking lot for the event is the roadway parallel to Dawn Drive, behind the parade judges' stand. This parking lot continues all the way up the hill to City Hall and the Lago Vista Library. (Please do not park in front of the fire station.) After the parade, riders may also park their personal vehicles on Dawn Drive. Bus pickup and drop-off is at Veterans' Park on Thunderbird at Dawn Drive. The last busses will leave Bar K Park for the return trip at 11:15 p.m.

At 6:00 p.m. three additional buses will join the fleet. The drop-off and pickup point at the Bar K Recreational Park is in front of the Bar-K Clubhouse next to the tennis courts.

Two additional parking lots, with bus pickup/drop off stops, are available at the Lago Vista High School/Middle School and the Lago Vista Chamber of Commerce on Bar K Road.

It is estimated that these three spots total 500 parking spaces.

So, plan ahead if you are coming for the night's events and entertainment. Should all these lots be filled, a CapMetro supervisor will inform you of additional parking lot locations offering bus service.
