TEXRail is the best option for parade visitors coming to the Downtown area. Park-and-ride opportunities are available at both the North Side Station (2829 Decatur Ave., Fort Worth, TX 76106) and the Fort Worth T&P Station (221 W. Lancaster Ave., Fort Worth, TX 76102). Park free at most TEXRail stations and ride downtown and avoid parking concerns. The North Side Station also features an overflow lot at 3001 Decatur Avenue. Frequency on Sunday will be increased to a train every 30 minutes help move riders out of Downtown more quickly.

Trinity Metro advised us that bus service will not be an optimal alternative due to traffic congestion leading up to the start time of the Parade. Additionally, many routes stop running early on Sunday with the exception of routes 1, 2, 46 and 89. These routes will operate on 15-minute frequency and run until around 11 p.m. on Sunday.

Please check www.ridetrinitymetro.com for specific route times.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive in downtown early to avoid traffic congestion. Weatherford Street from Henderson to Throckmorton Streets will close at 6:00 AM for staging (among some others) and highway ramps, including Spur 280 from Interstate 35, will begin to closing as early as 3:00 p.m. Belknap Street, Henderson Street and North Main Streets will remain open to traffic during the parade.
