Frequently Asked Questions
| Where can I park, and how do I take the shuttle? |
|
Perth will be busy during Perth Night Market and using the free shuttle is strongly recommended. You can park at Algonquin College, Last Duel Park, Giant Tiger or Conlon Farm Recreation Complex. The shuttle will drop you off at the intersection of Drummond and Herriott STs, just outside of the event area. Timing for the shuttle will be confirmed in the coming weeks. It will drive in a continuous loop throughout the event.
There are two parking lots off Herriott ST that will be accessible from Drummond ST, and there is a lot at the Tay Basin/Crystal Palace that also be accessible from Drummond. Parking lots are expected to fill quickly, so please arrive early.
Parking on the side streets is also an option, but please watch for signage.
We recommend arriving early, and if you live in Town, we recommend walking/cycling if you can. Bike racks can be found at:
