Ride-Share & Shuttle Services

We have designated a Drop-off/Pick-up zone for ride share and shuttle services on the corner of N West Drive and W Broade Street.

For those residents living in the limited service zone, Leander offers Cap Metro’s Pick Up service. For $1.25, this service will pick up residents within their service area and drop off at our Festival. For more information or to see service zone, visit the Pickup by CapMetro page.

In addition, CapMetro will operate a free shuttle service from Leander Cap Metro Train Station to the Festival. Drop-off and Pick-up will be at the same place as our Ride Share zone and service will run every 15 minutes from 12:00 PM until 10:00 PM. See the route below.

Parking & Road Closures

Street parking is limited due to road closure. Visitors may park on any Old Town street not marked for closure or in Leander ISD lots throughout Old Town. Do not park in front of or on resident’s lawns.

Street closures will begin at 5:30 AM on Saturday, Dec. 7 and be fully opened by 12:00 AM (midnight) on Sunday, Dec. 8. Towing is strictly enforced.

Streets will open and close throughout the day depending on the activity.  Our goal is to leave as many streets open as possible, but ensuring the safety of our citizens is always top priority. Refer to the map below for expected closures.
