Introducing the Briggie Bus: A Better Way to Get to Brigade Days

One of the biggest pieces of feedback we received from guests in 2025 was the challenge of parking and getting around during the festival weekend. We listened, and we're excited to introduce one of the biggest improvements coming to Hope Brigade Days 2026 — the Briggie Bus Community Shuttle Service!

The Briggie Bus will connect Downtown Hope, Kawkawa Lake, and Silver Creek with convenient shuttle service running throughout the weekend, making it easier than ever to get to and from the festival grounds.

To help accommodate our growing crowds, we've also added a new overflow parking area at CE Barry School, with shuttle service stopping every 30 minutes. Visitors can park, hop on the shuttle, and head straight to the action without the stress of searching for a parking spot.

The shuttle will operate on a published schedule, allowing guests to plan their day ahead and spend less time worrying about transportation and more time enjoying the festival.

We've also expanded our accessible parking area at the fairgrounds to improve access for guests who require disability parking.

The Briggie Bus isn't just about convenience — it's also about giving people more options. Whether you're enjoying live music in the Ken James Rip Off Saloon, taking in the concert, or simply spending the day exploring Brigade Days, the shuttle provides an easy way to get around and can help reduce the need to drive between festival activities.

As Brigade Days continues to grow, we're committed to making the experience better every year. We believe the Briggie Bus will help reduce parking pressures, improve accessibility, and make the festival more enjoyable for everyone.

Stay tuned for route maps, schedules, and stop locations as we get closer to Brigade Days 2026. We can't wait to welcome you aboard!
