Bike to Beets & Beats!

What is better than biking to the Uptown Farmers Market for freshly picked produce and live music? It's good for you *and* good for the planet. Join us for **BWB2UFM** every **third Thursday** and leave the car behind!

**Give the bus a try!** It's easy and, this week, it's free for market goers, courtesy of our partnership with MetroTransit.
**Access your free pass** by answering three easy questions. Then, use the **Metro Transit Trip Planner** and enter **Lagoon Cinema** as your destination for the best route from your location.
Thursday, 4–8 p.m. at MoZaic Plaza (Lagoon & Girard), right next to Lagoon Cinema.
**Easy parking:** The MoZaic parking ramp off Lagoon offers a $7 flat rate on market nights, so you can shop, dine and explore Uptown at your own pace.
**Taking the bus?** Use the Metro Transit Trip Planner and enter Lagoon Cinema as your destination for the best route.
**Fresh Eats. Live Beats. Good Vibes.**
