Park-to-Park Free Shuttle to Chautauqua program
The Park-to-Park shuttle provides satellite parking and free shuttle service to and from beautiful and popular Chautauqua Park on summer weekends and holidays (Memorial Day weekend in late May through Labor Day weekend in early September), to create a better visitor experience while reducing vehicular and parking impacts on neighbors and the area’s natural and cultural resources. The program also includes paid parking at Chautauqua and nearby neighborhood streets to help pay for the shuttles, as well as ambassadors to assist visitors.
The Park-to-Park shuttle program has ended for 2022!
The shuttle operates on summer weekends and holidays from Memorial Day weekend (late May) to Labor Day weekend (early September). For 2023, the shuttle will begin operating Saturday, May 27, and run through Monday, Sept. 4.
The free shuttle runs from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and holidays only, and pay parking in/around Chautauqua Park is also in effect on weekends and holidays only. Included holidays are Memorial Day (May 29), Juneteenth (June 19), Independence Day (July 4), and Labor Day (Sept. 4) in 2023.
Parking revenue helps pay for the free shuttle.
Please note that the Park-to-Park shuttle is a separate service from the HOP 2 Chautauqua shuttle. The HOP 2 Chautauqua is a free transit service to the Colorado Music Festival and Chautauqua Summer Series events and is operated by the Colorado Chautauqua Association.
