SpringOUT Fair Day is free and runs from 11am to 5pm on Saturday 31 October 2026 at Glebe Park in Canberra City. It falls on a day when no light rail services are running, so anyone who normally takes the tram into Civic needs another way in.
Roads around the Australian War Memorial will be closed for the Remembrance Day service on Wednesday 11 November 2026 from approximately 8:00am to 1:00pm, and Transport Canberra will divert Route 54 in both directions over the same hours. The National Ceremony starts at 10:45am on the Parade Ground, and tickets are not required.
Canberra Airport has four public car parks plus an Express car park, and the cheapest is outdoor parking, which is free for the first 10 minutes and costs $32.50 for a stay of 7 hours up to a day, as of 1 July 2026. Indoor parking at the terminal costs $44.50 for the same period, and the Express car park starts at $3.50 for up to 20 minutes.
Canberra Airport is connected to the City by Transport Canberra’s Rapid 3 bus, which runs seven days a week including public holidays. On weekdays the timetable puts the first bus from the airport at 5:55am and the last at 10:52pm, with a bus about every 15 minutes through most of the day, and on weekends a bus every 30 minutes.
Eleven bus stops around the Parliamentary Triangle will not be serviced from 6:30am to 12:00pm on Sunday 1 November 2026 because of The Canberra Times Run Canberra, and Transport Canberra has diverted routes R2, R6, 56, 57, 58 and 59. Roads in the area close from 4:30am, so anyone driving or catching a bus through Parkes and Barton that morning needs a different plan.
An adult trip on a Canberra bus or the light rail costs $3.41 at peak times and $2.70 off-peak with MyWay+, as of October 2026, and you pay by tapping on and tapping off a MyWay+ validator on every trip. The fares have applied since Saturday 10 January 2026, and Transport Canberra says the 90-minute transfer is free on paid trips.
