Riverside Dr is closed between Cherry St and Court St for the duration of the Shriner’s Fest.
For safety reasons, law enforcement units will be positioned at the road closure points and will not be able to allow access to those areas.
Monitor local media and law enforcement sites for updated road closure information throughout the festival.
Yes, I know it’s for a good cause but there should NEVER be any closure of a major road such as Riverside Drive into, through, and out of downtown Evansville with traffic being redirected onto an inadequate street such as 2nd Street. Lower Dress Plaza was constructed to facilitate events along the riverfront and should be used for same. Riverside Drive should never be closed for such events.
