Free Shuttle Service Debuts for Tonight’s Brand Park Concert

Glendale, CA · July 19, 2026

The marine layer is lingering a bit longer this morning, perfect for a slow stroll through the Montrose Harvest Market before the afternoon heat arrives. If you are heading to the hills later, the new transit pilot should make the trip significantly smoother.

📰 The Lead

Finding a parking spot near the Brand Library & Art Center during the Summer Concert Series has long been a test of patience for local music lovers. To address the congestion that often spills into the surrounding residential streets, the city is debuting a dedicated "Concert Shuttle" pilot program starting at 4:00 PM today.

The shuttle will run on a continuous loop between the Pacific Park parking lot and the Brand Park entrance, providing a stress-free alternative to circling the narrow canyon roads. This initiative follows several community meetings where neighbors voiced concerns over emergency vehicle access during high-traffic events. City officials will be monitoring ridership numbers tonight to determine if the service will be expanded for the remainder of the summer season. If you plan to catch the performance, look for the marked Beeline buses at the Pacific Park pickup point.
