Road closures throughout weekend in East Village as Country Thunder rolls into The Confluence
Traffic will be disrupted this weekend in the East Village due to the Country Thunder Music Festival. While the festival kicks off Friday at The Confluence, the road closures kick off Saturday at 11 a.m. and remain in effect until Tuesday at 1 a.m.: Sixth Street S.E. from Sixth to Ninth Avenue S.E.; Seventh and Eighth Avenue S.E. from Fifth to Sixth Street S.E.; and The left-hand lane on Ninth Ave S.E. in front of the Confluence Historic Site & Parkland will be closed. Festival organizers issued a media release Friday advising Country Thunder patrons to ride public transit to the festival site this weekend. 'We are walking distance from the city hall train station and several bus stops,' they posted. Riding public transit, they said, is easy and convenient. You get to ride with other country music fans and get pumped up, and you're less likely to be delayed due to construction and road closures. Additionally, there's no onsite parking for festivalgoers. 'Parking in Inglewood and downtown is extremely limited, ' they said, 'and we do not offer parking at the venue.' In addition to the Country Thunder parking restrictions, Chinatown is hosting a street festival Saturday, causing a number of street closures. Portions of Third Avenue and First Street S.E. will be closed Saturday for the TD Chinatown Street Festival. For more about Country Thunder, go here.
