The annual South Boston Street Festival is being held on East Broadway between I street and L street with access being maintained eastbound to Emerson street and also partly on K street from East Broadway to Emerson street with parking restrictions and street closures in place during this time.

Additionally, there is a weekend closure scheduled for Norfolk Avenue from September 22nd-25th due to an MBTA project which will require buses replacing trains on the Fairmount Line as well as traffic detours for eastbound traffic onto Magazine street and Massachusetts Avenue and westbound traffic onto Columbia Road, Dudley street, and Magazine street.

People attending these events are encouraged to walk, bike or take public transit as an alternative form of transportation. Information regarding Bluebikes (the regional bike share service) may be found online as well as information regarding the MBTA which advises riders to purchase round-trip tickets rather than one-way tickets for a faster return trip. Walking is also a great way for people attending these events move around safely while enjoying all that these events have to offer!
