MVTA buses will be serving Mystic Lake Amphitheater during select concert dates.

DAKOTA & SCOTT COUNTY, MINNESOTA - Concertgoers attending shows at the new Mystic Lake Amphitheater will have a free and convenient transportation option this summer thanks to a partnership between the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority and Live Nation.
MVTA has announced a free shuttle service connecting three Shakopee park-and-ride locations directly to the amphitheater for select concerts throughout the 2026 concert season. Riders can park for free at participating transit locations and be dropped off and picked up near the amphitheater entrance, helping avoid event traffic and parking congestion.
Three Shakopee Pickup Locations
The free shuttle service will operate from:
Eagle Creek Park and Ride — 6600 Eagle Creek Boulevard
Marschall Road Transit Station — 1615 Weston Court
Southbridge Crossings Park and Ride — 1401 Crossings Boulevard
According to MVTA, buses will begin operating at 5:45 p.m. and run at least every 20 minutes before participating concerts. Service pauses during the concert and resumes immediately after the show. Return service will continue for up to 45 minutes after the concert ends, allowing attendees time to exit the venue and board a shuttle back to their vehicles.
Participating Concerts
MVTA's Mystic Lake Amphitheater shuttle service is currently scheduled for the following concerts:
June 20 — "Setting the Stage"
June 22 — Machine Gun Kelly
June 23 — Dave Matthews Band

A New Transportation Option for the Amphitheater
The shuttle program is part of broader efforts to improve access to the new amphitheater, which opened this summer as Minnesota's largest outdoor concert venue. The service offers attendees an alternative to driving directly to the venue while helping reduce congestion around concert nights.
