"There will be an all-day FREE shuttle service from 9:00 am till after the fireworks on a continuous circuit. There will be stops at the Butterfly Conservatory, Queenston Hts., Laura Secord House, McFarland House, and Fort George parking lot." I just picked the butterfly conservatory parking lot because I know it has a good sized parking lot.
