Traffic Impacts - Concerts on the Square - Starts June 27

This year's first Concert on the Square will take place on Wednesday, June 27.  There are six concerts this year--each Wednesday thru August 1.  For each concert, the following streets will close at 3:00 p.m. and reopen at midnight:

• Main St between S Carroll St and S Pinckney St
• Pinckney Street between E Main St and E Mifflin St
• E Washington Ave between Pinckney St and Webster St

In addition to the street closures for the concert, S Pinckney St is currently closed between E Doty St and E Wilson St for the Judge Doyle Square project.  W Wilson St is reduced to one lane of traffic for street reconstruction thru mid-July.  See the map for street closure information.

Metro Transit will be detoured to the Outer Loop on each Wednesday afternoon, starting at 3:00 p.m.:

Each concert begins at 7:00 p.m. and ends around 8:45 p.m.

Due to the combination of the added Concert on the Square traffic and street closures, drivers should plan for travel delays in the Capitol area on Wednesday afternoons.

Rain date:  if any concert is rained out on Wednesday, it will occur the following day with the same schedule.  The rain determination will be made at 3:00 p.m. on the day of the concert.
