Take TANK
TANK is a convenient option for visitors who want to reach Covington without having to navigate festival traffic or find parking.
TANK will offer a special BLINK Park & Ride service from Northern Kentucky University on Friday, Oct. 9, and Saturday, Oct. 10.
Regular TANK routes will also operate throughout the festival, providing connections throughout Northern Kentucky and into Cincinnati.
Use Rideshare
Visitors can also use rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft to get to Covington and arrange a pickup after enjoying BLINK.
Because of street closures and heavy pedestrian traffic during the festival, rideshare drivers may not be able to access every area of the BLINK footprint. Drivers may need to pick up or drop off passengers at select locations outside of the busiest pedestrian areas.
