Delray Beach is closing off the downtown to vehicular traffic for the Annual 4th of July festival.  East Atlantic Avenue will be shut down so parking west of the Intracoastal Bridge would be a sensible choice so you can leave when you are ready.  The downtown trolley will be in service to provide transportation to and from the Intracoastal Bridge.  The downtown Trolley is free for anyone in Delray Beach.  Please park west of the Intracoastal Bridge.  You can use the Downtown Trolley to get to the Intracoastal Bridge.  The streets will be closing at 1:30 PM for the event and will reopen at 11 PM.  The event is held on East Atlantic from the Intracoastal Bridge east to A1A from Thomas to Miramar.  

As in past events there will be outdoor beer
