FESTIVAL MAP
How Do I Get There?
We’re excited to share that CityBus is extending The Connector service for Star City Nights. To make it easier for everyone to join us downtown, CityBus will provide fare-free rides on Route 41: The Connector from 5:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on the night of the festival. This special service ensures festival-goers can travel safely and conveniently between Purdue’s campus, West Lafayette, and Downtown Lafayette without worrying about parking.
Attendees can catch The Connector at Ferry Street or Columbia Street stops, with the route operating continuously throughout the evening. For assistance during service, CityBus’s Control Center is staffed until 1:00 a.m. and can be reached at 765-420-2951.
Star City Nights is about bringing the whole community together, and with CityBus on board, we’re making it even easier to celebrate under the lights on Main Street.
Thank You
PARKING AVAILABLE FOR FREE!!
All downtown parking garages will be open for FREE during the evenings! Each garage is free every weekend and some after 6pm during the week but we wanted to make sure you knew of the hundreds of spaces available, and you don’t have to worry about parallel parking. They are also only one block away from Main Street.
