Monterey-Salinas Transit / MST is operating a Saturday schedule on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2024. Note that there are NO LATE NIGHT BUS ROUTES THIS YEAR, except to Del Monte Center, as indicated on the First Night Monterey website. https://www.firstnightmonterey.org/FNM/ParkRide.php

Alas, we’re not attending #FirstNight2025, just biked to town for an errand at Del Monte Center today, where we shot these photos.

First Night Monterey "does not provide valet parking. The FNM footprint is closed to all vehicular traffic, including bicycles (except when walked) and dogs. If you choose to ride your bicycle, there is bicycle parking near the shuttle bus stop at Del Monte Center. There are also bicycle racks located throughout downtown Monterey along Alvarado Street - and including larger racks at the Sports Center…” [remainder of FNM web page info about bike parking isn’t entirely accurate].

"Please be courteous and walk your bike within the FNM footprint. Bicycles are not permitted inside any venue.”
