ACL Fest street closures begin
Monday, September 20, 2021 by Tai Moses
With ACL Fest right around the corner (weekends of Oct. 1-3 and 8-10), the city has begun implementing street closures in preparation for the mammoth music event and the gazillions of people and cars that come with it. The great lawn at Zilker Park closed to the public today and will remain closed until Sunday, Oct. 17, to allow for a week of fall maintenance after the festival concludes. The city’s interactive map provides a detailed look at exactly which streets are closed. Planning to take your bike? Check out the bicycle access map to find routes to the festival. And this handy calendar tells you exactly when streets are closing and for how long.
