Colorado State Fair attendees can expect some parking changes, return of free shuttle
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) — Because there never seems to be enough parking on the Colorado State Fairgrounds, officials have taken steps to provide more of it by making a few changes this year.
VIP parking has moved to the overflow lot near the Calvary Baptist Church, across the street from the Prairie Avenue entrance.
That switch will provide more spaces at the $10 public parking lot on the south end of the fairgrounds, between Mesa Avenue and Northern Avenue.
For the first time, the public parking has a flat fee, instead of fees that were higher on some days and lower on others.
Meanwhile, the employee parking lot is now where the VIP parking used to be — at Gate 2.
The changes are in response to survey results from fairgoers.
For drivers who dread the time and trouble of finding a parking spot near the fairgrounds, officials are teaming up with Pueblo Transit to again offer a new addition — a free shuttle bus service.
Free shuttle parking is at the downtown parking garage on Main Street, just north of the police station, and the bus stop is outside the garage.
Buses will run every 15 minutes between the downtown stop and the Prairie entrance; hours are from 3 p.m. until midnight during the week, and from 11 a.m. to midnight on weekends.
The shuttle includes a brief tour of some of Pueblo’s historic areas.
