Downtown Improvement District


Downtown Fort Wayne Dine & Ride Program

DID's Free Dine & Ride Program

A free park and ride program to help you enjoy dinner and a show downtown hassle free!

The Downtown Improvement District (DID) is proud to once again bring you Dine & Ride - a free service to patrons of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Masterworks and Pops Series as well as Broadway at the Embassy. Park and dine at any of the participating restaurants before eligible concerts and board the CTN bus to be taken directly to the front doors of the Embassy Theatre. After the concert, board the bus to be taken back to the restaurant. This service is free and brought to you by the DID, Fort Wayne Philharmonic and the Embassy Theatre.

* Buses run the route approximately every 15-20 minutes. Two buses travel the route continuously, so please wait if the first bus is full. Please note patrons will be picked up curbside, not in the restaurant parking lot. For shows starting at 7:30, buses run before each show from 6:15 - 7:30pm. For shows starting at 8:00pm, buses run before each show from 6:45 - 8:00pm.
