With the growth of the event and the construction of the new Community Education Center in the Texana Park Day Use Area, we find it necessary to utilize buses to transport all event attendees to and from the event this year. The event location has very limited parking which will be reserved for our handicapped patrons ONLY. We have utilized buses the past two years on a limited basis but this year they will be used EXCLUSIVELY. Event attendees including those camping in Brackenridge Park will park their vehicle at the Brackenridge Main Event Center where they will board one of three large air-conditioned buses which will start running at 4:45 p.m. and run continuously throughout the evening to shuttle them to and from the event entrance. Attendees will then hop on a festive hay ride thru the Day Use Area down to the event. Family friendly Halloween décor along the route will make the hayride even more fun! Note: ONLY Texana Park & Campground guests displaying a YELLOW parking pass will be able to access the Texana Camping Area after 5:00 p.m. Armbands will be sold at the Main Event Center that evening or may be purchased in advance at either of the park offices. Please note that pets are not allowed at the event unless they are a certified service dog. Our goal with the new transportation plan is to provide a more efficient and safer experience for everyone attending the event.
