What you need to know about the 24th Annual Lafayette Art & Wine Festival

Saturday, September 21 & Sunday September 22

Road Closures

Beginning at 7:00pm on Friday, September 20 to Sunday, September 22 at approximately 10:00pm, Mt. Diablo Boulevard will be closed in both directions from Moraga Rd. to Dewing Avenue. The east portion of Lafayette Circle (by Round Up Saloon) will also be closed from Mt. Diablo Blvd. to Hough Ave. Residents and Businesses will be allowed access up to the American Kitchen Restaurant.

Parking restrictions in the affected area will begin at 4:00pm on Friday, September 20. All meters will be “bagged” with no parking notices at that time so that all vehicles can be removed before the street officially closes at 7:00pm. Cars parked in the area after that time will be subject to towing. Please note that parking lots with access/egress only on Mt. Diablo Blvd. will also be affected as cars parked there after 7:00pm will not be able to leave. Read more about road closures here >>
