How to Hop

Parking & Transportation

A shuttle with 22 seats — including one wheelchair-accessible seat —  is available the entire Art Hop weekend on a loop to five large areas with parking and art to visit.

Pickup starts at the Maltex Building at 431 Pine Street, with four floors of art and paid parking in the back. Find the biggest art location and free parking at the second pickup, at the Innovation Center at 128 Lakeside Avenue. Then it’s off to Sears Lane and Pine, followed by Switchback Brewery at 180 Flynn Avenue. The final stop is Burton at 180 Queen City Park Road, with the largest parking area.

We ask that you walk and bike when possible and be mindful of pedestrian thoroughfares. Free bike valet parking by Local Motion is available at the Barge Canal at 377 Pine on Friday and in combination with Burlington Electric Department on Saturday!

Accessibility

SEABA has indicated which sites are accessible othe program map. Find Art Hop sites at seaba.com/arthopsites; if the member has added accessibility info, there will be a section called "accessibility notes."

An accessible shuttle that can accommodate one wheelchair and 22 passengers is available to five areas from Howard Street to Queen City Park Road. If a fellow attendee will be dropping you off, note that Pine Street will be closed between Kilburn and Howard on Friday but will be open to traffic on Saturday and Sunday.

The parking lot behind the Maltex Building is at one end of the densest few blocks of the Art Hop. (This is a paid, privately owned lot.)

If you'd like to start with just one building, the Soda Plant (at 266 Pine Street, between Kilburn and Maple) is accessible from the building's north lot and has many Art Hop sites indoors and food trucks outside.

…and a Few More Things

Food is provided by a number of food truck vendors that were selected by Food Trucks of Vermont, famous for the South End Get Down. Visit all the wonderful South End Arts District restaurants and breweries now and all year-round as well!

Please help us keep our city beautiful by taking your food items with you or using our provided compost, recycling and waste containers.

Restrooms are located inside each SEABA-curated building, large public building, restaurant and bar.
