Street Closings
It’s that time of the year again. Festival will be here on April 25th, 26th, and 27th. We will be closing the streets this year as we did last year in order to accommodate the Festival Vendors, the Festival Tour Bus route, and to make life safer for participants.
Please note there are changes from previous years street closings. One lane of DeKalb Avenue will be closed from Delta Place to Hurt Street on Saturday, April 26th from 9:00 a.m until at 10:00 p.m and Sunday, April 27th from 9:00 a.m until at 6:00 p.m.
The following streets (as marked on the map) will be closed 10:00 a.m. Friday, April 25th until Sunday, April 27th at 11:00 p.m. This is for the convenience of the tents and food vendors:
- Euclid Avenue from Elizabeth Street west to Waverly Way.
- Waverly Way at Poplar Circle and Euclid Avenue to the bend.
- Delta Place along the East side of Delta Park to Edgewood Avenue.
Residents with vehicles parked on these streets will need to move their vehicles prior to the street closings. Failure to do so could result in the vehicle being towed.
The following streets will close Saturday, April 26th, at 5:00 a.m. until Sunday, April 27th, at 7:00 p.m.:
- Euclid Avenue between Alta Avenue and Edgewood Avenue.
- Edgewood Avenue between Hurt Street and Waddell Street.

For the parade, Saturday, April 26th:
From 12:00 p.m.–2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 26th, to stage the Parade, Edgewood Avenue will be closed at Krog Street, and Waddell Street will be closed to all traffic, except for the Shuttle Bus, from Lake Avenue to Edgewood Avenue.
Limited access will only be available at night, after festival hours, to streets that are indicated on the map as “INACCESSIBLE”. However, streets with vendors and marked “CLOSED” on the map will be closed to all traffic during all of Saturday and Sunday (until 7:00 p.m.).
If you have a car on one of the streets with tents or food vendors, PLEASE RELOCATE YOUR VEHICLE OFF OF THESE STREETS PRIOR TO FRIDAY AT 10:00 A.M. OR YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE TOWED.
If you have a car on one of the “CLOSED” streets and will need the vehicle during festival hours, please relocate your vehicle off of these streets prior to saturday at 6:00 a.m.
The Festival Committee and staff are very conscious of the effort residents put forth to accomodate these closings and we appreciate your enduring the inconvenience to help make this weekend a great success.
