2009 Information - 2010 Update Pending

For three years the City has  provid a free shuttle service between the Festival site at Spruce Grove Composite High School and Spruce Grove’s City Hall, Greystone Centennial Middle School and Living Waters Christian Academy.

The bus runs past each location at approximately 30-minute intervals, stopping for a few minutes at each to collect waiting passengers. In 2009 he bus operated, in a circuit, between 5 and 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 30 and between 9:30 a.m. and midnight on Wednesday, July 1.

New in 2009, the Festival chose to use a local school bus company. This allowed us to accommodate more people in each vehicle. And, we also added a second bus from 7 pm - midnight on Wednesday, July 1.

Note: Both busses leave the Festival site after the RONA fireworks. One bus goes directly to Living Waters, and the other goes to Greystone School and City Hall. Busses will loop continuously until the last drop off at midnight. Ensure you board the correct bus.

Watch the weather, and be ready for anything (this is Alberta, after all)!


What not to bring:

Lost kids

• When you arrive on site with children, take a moment to show them the Information Tent. Make this your designated meeting point if you get separated. Volunteers and staff will take any lost children to the Information Tent, but it is important that both parents and children know where to go.

Street Performers pass-the-hat

• Our street performers come to us via the Edmonton International Street Performers Festival.  Street Performers work hard to make you smile, so please reward them. We encourage you to put cash into their hats. Change is available at the information tent.

Vendors

• Vendors will be on site selling a variety of festival-style food, beverages, and other unique products. Artist CDs will be available during the evening shows. Correct change is always appreciated.

Volunteers

• Volunteers make the difference! Please be patient with our volunteers; they really do want to help. If you see a volunteer doing a great job, please thank them – praise is their best reward.
