To take the shuttle to the step-off point (so you don‘t have to walk the whole way back at the end of the parade) drive your car through the MLK Boulevard gate into Fair Park by 8:30 a.m. Turn to the right to park over toward Pennsylvania Street. City-provided shuttle vans will then carry you back to City Hall, where you should look for the Jobs With Justice banner. Start: 7:00 pm
