For the second year in a row, the New Glasgow Riverfront Jubilee has partnered with CHAD Transit to offer a charter bus service during the festival weekend. Last year, the cost was a flat fee of $10, however, this year NSLC will cover the cost.
“We’re really excited to be able to offer this service again this year and are so pleased that NSLC reached out to help make sure our patrons get home safely and for free,” said Jubilee executive director Carlton Munroe.
Pre-booking is necessary and will be completed on a first-come, first-served basis.
The bus will be located off the Jubilee site at the New Glasgow Legion parking lot with departure times of 12:30 a.m., and 1:30 a.m.
For safety, the Jubilee will have a volunteer on-site to organize departure.
Police will also be monitoring the area.
Charter bus drivers will take patrons directly to their homes anywhere in the county.
“Jubilee weekend is a great celebration,” said Beth Martin, NSLC’s manager of corporate social responsibility. “We want to encourage everyone who attends to celebrate responsibly by planning ahead for a safe ride home. The free charter service will help to make planning ahead even easier."
“It’s nice for attendees who live in more rural locations or for folks who are simply looking for a safe ride home,” said Munroe.
To book a ride, contact Glasgow Square at 902-752-4800, or drop into the Glasgow Square Box Office.
Bookings must be received by Glasgow Square by Wednesday, July 27.
NSLC’s Cabbioke will also be onsite at this year’s Jubilee on Sunday, July 31, to close out the weekend.
“Patrons will be able to brush up on their karaoke chops and head over to Cabbioke to sing a song and end their weekend on a great note,” a release said.
