ACL Fest cometh

The Austin City Limits Music Festival is right around the corner (Oct. 7-9 and 14-16) and various city departments are battening down the hatches as they prepare for a massive influx of visitors to Austin. Of course, road closures are always part of the fun, so you can check out this handy calendar to find out which roads will be closed and for how long. Crews are already hard at work setting up, so the parks department has closed Zilker Park, effective today. This map shows Zilker Park access during the festival. Of course, parking is always a nightmare; just keep in mind there is no parking at Zilker Park or in surrounding neighborhoods during the festival.
