We anticipate Downtown Toledo will be alive for the celebration and want to make sure you have a place to park for the event. Park and Ride lots will open at 1:00 p.m. Shuttles will begin running from the lot to the event at 1:30 and will run approximately every 15 mins throughout the day. The last shuttle to leave from the event site in Downtown Toledo to the lots at midnight.

An opportunity to purchase Park and Ride Tickets will be available upon purchasing your event tickets, or by using this Ticketmaster link.

This year’s events will be entirely cashless. The tickets will be digital and only credit/debit cards will be accepted at all food, beverage and retail locations.

The health and well-being of our community are of the utmost importance to ProMedica. ProMedica will continue to monitor the prevalence of COVID-19 within the community and communicate with state and local health officials to determine if each concert can proceed as planned.
