The 2016 PotashCorp Fringe Theatre and Street Festival starts today, and the City urges attendees to consider Saskatoon Transit as their transportation option to and from the festival.
“The construction on and around Broadway Avenue means there will be even fewer parking options for festival-goers than usual,” says Jim McDonald, Director of Saskatoon Transit. “So, avoid the hassle, come down to the Fringe, enjoy everything the festival has to offer and leave the driving to us.”
The attached map indicates the direct transit routes that will get you closest to the festival, including the high frequency Route 8, which leaves Centre Mall and travels to the corner of Broadway Avenue and 8th Street.
“We think this is a great opportunity for people to see first-hand our commitment to renew Saskatoon Transit and to get a feel for how the high-frequency service works,” McDonald says. “Riders will be able to hop on several of our buses and get off at the festival site.”
Other direct routes include:
•Route 1 Exhibition: Downtown to Broadway Avenue
•Route 1 City Centre: Sunnyside to Broadway Avenue
•Route 6 Broadway: Travels from City Centre to Broadway Avenue
•Route 6 City Centre: Market Mall to Broadway Avenue
•Route 8 City Centre: Centre Mall to the corner of Broadway Avenue and 8th Street
•Route 8 Centre Mall: City Centre to the corner of Broadway Avenue and 8th Street
•Route 13 (only available during peak periods)
The Festival is a ten day community celebration on Broadway Avenue that features several independent theatre shows, street entertainers, street vendors and food vendors. Attendance is estimated at around 55,000 people throughout the ten days with activities happening throughout the day and into the evenings.
