Shuttle Service
During the busiest times of the year, locals and travelers can access free parking and free shuttle service on a first-come-first-serve basis provided by the City of St. Augustine and/or St. Johns County. These busy weekends are usually during holidays like the 4th of July or major events like the Nights of Lights.
However, you’ll also find information on this page about year-round free shuttles, like that at the Amphitheatre or the First Friday Art Walk, as well as shuttles you can catch a ride with for a small fee.

Amphitheatre Parking Shuttle for Events
Although the St. Augustine Amphitheatre boasts nearly 300 parking spots on-site, the parking lot often fills quickly. However, they also provide a free park and ride shuttle where patrons can park their vehicle for free, board a shuttle, and ride to Amphitheatre events. The free parking lots are within one mile of the venue and are periodically patrolled by security. The parking shuttles begin running one hour before events and continue running until one hour after events.
