"I would think the shuttle will be the way to go for convenience sakes,"  Downtown Dayton Partnership's Val Hunt Beerbower said.

There are multiple spots in the Oregon District and the near the city's transportation garage, at East Fifth and Jefferson streets, and other parking lots and facilities.

“They will have continual shuttles running,” Beerbower said.

The shuttle runs 5:30 p.m.-11:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 11; 11:30 a.m.-11:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12 and  9:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 13.
