Good morning-
The annual Route 66 Summerfest will once again take place in Nob Hill on Saturday, July 22 from 3-10 p.m. Due to the construction, we have made some modifications to the event area. The event will now take place on Central Ave. in between Girard and Carlisle. In addition, we will also be utilizing Monte Vista, from Girard to Campus.
Route 66 Summerfest has something for everyone. There are four different music stages including national headliners Los Lobos, a Cork & Tap local beer garden, the Mother Road Artisan Market, and plenty of fun for the kids at the KidZone. In addition to the great restaurants in the Nob Hill area, there will be a variety of food trucks serving up their tasty treats.
Due to the large amount of infrastructure required for this event, we will close a small portion of lanes on Central on Friday, July 21 starting at 9 a.m. The interior lane in each direction will be closed from Dartmouth to Bryn Mawr, leaving one lane of traffic open in each direction. Bryn Mawr between Central and Silver will also have limited access on Friday. The rest of the event area will be closed at midnight on Saturday, July 22. (Friday night) and will remain closed until approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday July, 23. Each barricade will have a security officer to ensure that vehicular traffic does not access the event area.
Please anticipate a high volume of traffic in the area. We will be offering a free Park and Ride from the UNM lot on the southwest corner of Lomas and University, as well as shuttle stops on Central from Carlisle to Washington.
We respectfully ask that you share this information will all of the people in your Neighborhood Associations. Please find all of the details on this event at the official City webpage,
