The 47th Annual Locust Street Festival is scheduled for Sunday, and organizers are urging residents in the vicinity to check the parking signs to prevent their vehicles from being towed.
Taking place from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on May 31, the festival will feature five stages of live music. Residents living on or near E. Locust Street must ensure that a 100-foot clearance is maintained on all streets leading off of Locust. Towing enforcement will begin at 7 a.m.
Participants in the festival can also take part in the Locust Street Beer Run, which starts at 11:30 a.m. at the intersection of Locust and N. Booth Street, winding through Riverwest before finishing near Locust and N. Bremen Street.
According to the festival’s organizers, any vehicles parked within the inner track of the run’s route will also be towed starting at 7 a.m. Notices have been distributed to local households to inform them of the parking restrictions, and signs have been posted throughout the area since the start of the week.
If residents need to park for the festival or the beer run, they are advised to use the opposite side of Locust Street. Police will be present at the beer run from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to maintain safety and may not allow vehicle traffic on the route during this time.
