How to fest
NAVIGATING T/F WALKING Hoofing it the old-fashioned way is definitely doable
and recommended, as the most far-flung venues in the T/F footprint— Rhynsburger to the south and the Showtime Theater @ The Blue Note to the north—are roughly half a mile apart, or about a 10-minute walk. For a breakdown of all venue walking times, reference the schedule grid insert.
BIKING Pedal power will get you around the festival quickly and easily
while avoiding parking headaches and keeping the air cleaner. There are lots of places to park your bike; look for the bike corrals at some of the busier downtown intersections. Need a bike? Rent one at Walt’s Bike Shop (573.886.9258). Walt’s Bike Shop will offer a free Bike Inspection & Tuneup station at S. Ninth Street and Cherry, 10am-6pm, Fri-Sat.
TAXI Hail a taxi from any of the taxi stands located throughout downtown.
The locations are marked on the map on the inside back cover. Call ahead to Taxi Terry’s (573.441.1414) or 5 Star Taxi (573.449.7827).
PARKING There are several parking garages within walking distance of
True/False venues as well as ample on-street, metered parking throughout downtown (most meters have a two hour limit). Meters are free before 9am, after 7pm, and all day on Sunday. Parking in city-owned downtown garages is free after 6pm on weekdays and all day Saturday and Sunday. The Tenth & Cherry Garage is restricted to permit only parking on the second and third levels; the restriction is only in place Thur-Fri of the Fest. Hourly parking at the Short Street Garage is available for metered parking. Spaces marked as “Reserved” are designated as such 24/7 and should not be used. Meters with cloth bag covers in the downtown area are often for T/F staff loading and unloading; please refrain from parking in those spots, even on the weekend.
