Buses will run during festival hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with final pick-ups at the Vollmer Complex a few minutes after the festival closes. Schedules are posted on the LaSalle Transit page on the Town’s website.

One free shuttle bus will also run on Friday night to bring patrons to and from the festival for the fireworks. The bus will travel between the Event Centre at LaSalle Landing, 970 Front Road, and the Vollmer Complex between 7:00 pm and 11:00 pm. Parking is first-come, first-served and is available at the Event Centre by entering the parking lot from Bouffard Road. Additional parking is available at Front Road and Laurier Drive. It is a short walk from the additional parking to the Event Centre. Guests can be dropped off at the Event Centre before parking. The shuttle service will run about every 30 minutes.

The fireworks show presented by Valente Development Corporation and Remo Valente Real Estate will be launched near the pond at the Vollmer Complex around 10:00 pm on Friday, June 6. A great view of the fireworks can be seen from anywhere on the Vollmer Complex grounds.
