Neighbors,
ACL Fest is scheduled for October 4-6 and 11-13 this year at Zilker Park. Below you’ll find the road closure and traffic control maps. Not everyone is on the listserve and if you could help direct fellow neighbors to the information it would be most appreciated.
ACL does have dedicated patrol stationed in the area during the festival (the number below doesn’t get activated until right before the event). It does take you to Command Central which can dispatch fairly quickly. Additionally 911 is always available depending on your situation.
Command Central: 646-432-0753 (Note new number)
