Tonight's the night for Music in Plymouth, and for those planning to get their groove on at the Hilde Performance Center, keep your wallets in your pockets when it comes to parking and shuttle service—it's all free, folks. Starting at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the air will fill with melodies, while the ground beneath may be rattled with construction on Plymouth Boulevard. But don't let that deter you; according to the city's announcement, there are plenty of alternate routes and parking spots to stash your ride.
If you'd prefer to skip the headache of steering through detours, Plymouth Metrolink has got you covered with a shuttle service that's running from 5 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Now, for those on the further end of punctual, the shuttles are zipping back and forth every 40 minutes, with pick-up and drop-off points at Wayzata High School and the Plymouth Metrolink Station 73. They'll deposit your music-loving selves on 34th Avenue—right across from the Post Office and tantalizingly near to the event's location.
A little construction is hardly a roadblock for the determined fest-goers. The Hilde stands defiantly accessible amid the revamp of Plymouth Boulevard, which is closed for the moment to through traffic. But worry not, there's no scarcity of places to plant your car. Free event parking is available at the Plymouth Ice Center, Plymouth Community Center, and along 34th Avenue N. Take note: the coveted spots at Plymouth City Hall are reserved, so let's leave those for the vendors and anyone who needs accessible parking, okay?
And here's a pro tip for those of you chauffeuring friends or family to the event; the Life Time parking lot at 3600 Plymouth Blvd is your drop-off sweet spot. But, remember, just because the streets are buzzing with activity doesn't mean you should throw caution to the wind. Keep an eye out for those detoured routes to ensure your night is all about the tunes and not about traffic tribulations.
