DTA's Offers Evening Service To Head Of The Lakes Fair

The Duluth Transit Authority (DTA) and the City of Superior will provide special evening service between downtown Duluth, downtown Superior and the Head of the Lakes Fair, now through this Saturday, August 27. This alleviates trying to find a parking spot, saves gas and you can drink beer without having to worry about who is going to drive home. Do you need a ride?

As long as you plan accordingly, you should be able to hit the buses that will leave hourly to the Head of the Lakes Fair from downtown Duluth at the Holiday Center from 6:15 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. The plan is to use Route 17 towards South Superior with return trips from the Fairgrounds running hourly from 6:40 p.m. The last return trip to downtown Superior and downtown Duluth leaving the Fairgrounds at 10:45 p.m. Be sure to watch the time or you may end up calling a friend or a cab.
