The Maui County Agricultural Festival will offer a free shuttle service during the event, which takes place this Saturday, April 6, at the Maui Tropical Plantation in Wailuku.

Event organizers say the service was established this year in response to growing crowds and limited parking.

The continuous shuttle will run to and from the event beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Attendees can park at Baldwin High School, and catch the 7-minute shuttle ride to Waikapu.

General admission to the ag festival is free. It features exhibits, demonstrations, panels, guest speakers, food, animals and special events for the family.

The shuttle service runs both ways throughout the day and is sponsored by Roberts Hawaii.
