In collaboration with our friends in Frankenmuth, STARS is excited to announce the return of the Frankenmuth Shuttle, making it easier than ever to explore Michigan’s Little Bavaria without the parking hassle!

Starting the first weekend in August, the FREE shuttle service will operate every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM, offering convenient access to top attractions, restaurants, shops, and more throughout town.

Visitors can enjoy free and less-congested parking at multiple designated lots, then hop aboard the shuttle for continuous loops with stops approximately every 20 minutes.

Shuttle Stops Include:
Uptown North & Hassle-Free Parking (975 N Main St) — Public restrooms, shopping, and dining options.

Christmas Lane — Home to the world’s largest Christmas store and more holiday magic.

Zehnder Park Downtown — Iconic chicken dinners, shops, and the River Walk.

River Place Shops — Boutiques, wineries, and boat tours.

Bavarian Mall, Visitor Center, Top of the Hill East & West, and many more.

Please note: The shuttle will not operate during Auto Fest weekend.
