Sunday, August 31, 2014 – Fiestas Patrias
Street Closure Times: 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM
Streets Around Library Closed: McKinney Street and Bagby Street; partial closure of Lamar Street
Additional Information: http://www.fiestaspatriasfest.com
Fiestas Patrias will take place in Sam Houston Park and around the Central Library this Sunday. Bagby, McKinney and part of Lamar will be closed, but staff and customers will still have access to the Central Library Parking Garage. Some site installation will take place on Saturday, but will not block access into or out of the Central Library Parking Garage. This setup is nearly identical to the Colombian Festival that took place last month.
* The Central Library will be open its normal hours (Saturday, 10 – 5 ; Sunday 1 – 5).
* There will be a dedicated lane on Lamar to allow traffic into the parking garage. The McKinney exit will be open on Saturday but closed on Sunday. The entrance ramp will be converted into two-way traffic on Sunday for both staff and customers. Any traffic on Lamar not going to the garage will be required to turn at Brazos. A parking pass will not be required.
* A large portion of the Central Library Plaza will be used for the festival, but pedestrian access will be available from the Lamar Street side of the plaza.
Stella Pereira from MOSE will be the point of contact. Please contact her at 713.301.5520 so she can help resolve any issues onsite.
