Ride DART and Save

There are so many ways that you can save time and money by riding DART to the North Texas Irish Festival.

Firstly, you can avoid the hassle of driving to downtown and parking in Fair Park. Save the parking fee and save that long walk from the parking lot - and back again in the evening. Park for free at any DART Park & Ride lot and relax as the modern, high speed light rail trains take you safely downtown.

Then you can save again. Continuing our Green Festival initiative, "Green, not just for Ireland any more", we are encouraging our guests to ride DART to the festival this year. All guests riding DART will receive a $2 admission discount *. Just show a DART receipt valid for the day of admission at the gate.

NTIF Express

DART will be providing express busses from the Pearl Street station to Fair Park all day Saturday and Sunday. There is no additional cost for this service, just ride the Red line south from Richardson and Plano or north from Oak Cliff or the Blue line from south Garland to the Pearl Street. There you will find a clearly marked DART bus to take you direct into Fair Park and drop you close to our Shuttle Gate.
