Yes! There is plenty of parking at the venue, however, the venue is about a 45 minute drive from Fort Collins and primarily on mountain roads so please plan accordingly. We will also be providing a shuttle on a first-come, first-serve basis. The shuttle fits 50 passengers and will be leaving from the Drake Centre in Fort Collins at 3:00pm. Please see the 'Shuttle Info' section below for additional details.
We will have a shuttle leaving from the Drake Center in Fort Collins at 3:15pm. Right now, we only have one shuttle reserved which seats 50 passengers. We will fill the shuttle on a first-come, first-serve basis. If we get over 70+ people who wish to take the shuttle we will likely get another so please sign-up at the link below if you'd like to partake in the shuttle ride, even if there are already 50 people or more ahead of you on the list. We have rented a room inside the Drake Center for everyone to comfortably gather, use restrooms, and wait for the shuttle to arrive. The shuttle ride will be approximately 45-50 minutes each way. The shuttle will include phone charging ports, water & ice, as well as drinkware. The last dance will be at approximately 10:30pm and the shuttle back will be at 10:45pm. There will be an announcement and signs for the shuttle departure.
