- South Broad Street will be open to local traffic only between Canal Street and Texas Street.
- Canal Street will be open to local traffic only, from Washington Avenue to South Broad Street.
Signs and variable message boards will be in place to alert drivers of the closure and alternate routes.
All activities are weather-dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather.
