It's here. The massive two-weekend festival that brings thousands of folks from across the world to Central Austin. Nope. Not that one. It's the one in the fall — ACL Fest.
If you're attending, the City of Austin encourages you to avoid taking a car, and there are plenty of options for how to do that. If you're not going, you'll need to keep an eye out for road closures. Here's a rundown of everything you need to know.Barton Springs Road and Stratford Drive will be partially or completely blocked off for weekend one of the festival, starting Oct. 6 through Oct. 9. For weekend two, it will start shutting down Oct. 13 through Oct. 9.
Downtown, Fourth Street between Nueces and Guadalupe streets will close Oct. 7–9 and Oct. 14–16 from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. to make way for the CapMetro shuttles at Republic Square Park.The festival partners with CapMetro to shuttle ACL attendees to and from the festival every year. Pickup is at Republic Square Park starting at 10 a.m. both weekends, with the last shuttle leaving Zilker at 11 p.m.
The 801 and 803 routes, along with a couple others, will still operate at their usual stops at the park. Capital Metro’s MetroRapid 803 route provides direct service to the area at its Barton Springs Station.
