The only planned road closings for Friday, Saturday and Sunday are Washington Street, between Church Street and Bridge Street, and Federal Street, from Washington Street to North Street, during the times the Radio 92.9 entertainment stage is operational (Friday at 6:00pm, Saturday & Sunday @ 4:00pm).
However, crowd size and public safety will dictate the need for closing any streets in the downtown area during the weekend.
