Bluesfest and Thunder Bay Transit have created an exciting joint initiative where Bluesfest ticket holders are able to ride Transit for free. This initiative is not only to increase the number of concert-goers, but also to ease traffic congestion & parking requirements, lower the event’s carbon footprint, help eliminate drinking and driving, and introduce Transit to new passengers. No matter where you live in Transit’s service area, ticket holders are able to take Transit for the full valid date of their Bluesfest ticket.
