Fair Saint Louis Metro Transit Schedule

Fair Saint Louis visitors can avoid massive traffic jams, blocked highway exits, closed St. Louis streets, and paying too much for parking by taking Metro Transit to the popular three-day celebration.  Extra MetroLink trains will be operating to accommodate the large crowds on Saturday, July 2, Sunday, July 3, and Monday, July 4 so fairgoers can conveniently get in and out of downtown St. Louis.  Each evening, even more trains will be running to bring visitors to the fair for the nightly entertainment and fireworks shows and then back home afterwards.  Cardinals fans going to the 5:15 p.m. game on July 4 should also consider taking Metro to avoid the traffic jams and the hassle and expense related to finding parking.
