In Ft. Lauderdale, drivers are urged to avoid the barrier island roadways - particularly A1A and Seabreeze Blvd. Officials say delays are also expected on Southeast 17th Street and Las Olas Blvd.

There is a designated pick-up/drop-off location for anyone getting to the festival via Uber, Lyft or taxi cab services. That designated location is the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Complez parking lot, located at 501 Seabreeze Boulevard. Ride share services are not permitted to pick-up or drop-off at any other location.

There will be no official event parking. Instead, officials are advising festival-goers to use the Water Taxi shuttle service which runs from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
