Ride your bike to the 2019 Earth Day Festival and leave the parking to us!
Bike Valet at the Earth Day Festival
Bike to Bird: We are offering free valet bike parking at Andrew Bird’s Savannah Music Festival show on March 29
We are offering free valet parking for bikes at Andrew Bird’s performance on Tuesday, March 29 at Lucas Theatre. Ride your bike to the show and we’ll look after it while you enjoy the music. Our bike valet will be open beginning at 7 p.m.
The violinist, singer and composer began his career as a member of the Squirrel Nut Zippers before forming Bowl of Fire, and has been recording and touring as a solo artist since 2003. His distinctive voice, wide ranging influences and instrumental versatility contribute to an engaging compositional style that often incorporates sounds and layers rarely heard in pop music, including virtuosic whistling and glockenspiel.
We love it when we discover our favorite musicians are also avid cyclists. That’s the case with Bird. “I feel a certain amount of pride in not using a motorized vehicle to get from point A to point B,” he told Bicycling magazine. “Sometimes I’ll invent point A and point B to justify riding.”

Practical people pedal to Picnic in the Park
The annual Picnic in the Park concert will draw thousands of people to Forsyth Park on Sunday, Oct. 4 to hear the Savannah Philharmonic and other musical performers. Many people will drive, creating traffic headaches and demand for parking that far outstrips supply. But you know a better way to go, right? Right!
You’ll ride your bike to Picnic in the Park and leave your wheels at our bicycle valet parking service. It’s totally free — small donations are appreciated, but definitely not required — and easy. You won’t have to walk your bike through the crowd or find a place to lock it. You can rest easy and enjoy the show knowing your bike is safe and secure.
If you’re interested in volunteering, we’d love to have you. We’ll have a pretty good view of the stage from our location near the Drayton Street sidewalk.
We look forward to seeing you and your bike on Sunday. Don’t forget to bring your lights for the ride home!
