Attendee Experiences
NBC6 spoke to several people who came from all over to spend the weekend in Miami, and they’re not worried about the rain but they have noticed the traffic. "Getting in was kind of a mess," said a man. "We got here at like 5:30 and then we got in at like 7:30, so it was a long time." However, some attendees had a smoother experience, "We’re just staying right here, so it’s really easy, just come out the front go to the gate, come back home easy peezy," said a woman.
Traffic and Road Closures
Police have blocked several roads around Bayfront Park and Biscayne Boulevard as the festival continues. Attendees are advised to plan their routes accordingly and check for updates on road closures to avoid any inconvenience.
