SDOT is warning to drivers to be prepared for heavy congestion around Seattle Center this weekend. Up to 50,000 people are expected to attend this year’s Bumbershoot festival. Plan on heavier traffic than usual between the I-5 Mercer Street ramps and Seattle Center. There are no road closures. Bumbershoot runs from 11am to 11pm on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
From the Bumbershoot archives
Our partners at the Seattle Times say Saturday “Standard” tickets to mainstage acts Bob Dylan and The Decemberists are sold out. Standard tickets for Sunday (Weezer, Hole, Rise Against) and Monday (Mary J. Blige, Drake and J. Cole) are going fast. “Economy” tickets for all three days are still available.

I noticed there are only two entrances to Bumbershoot this year. The usual one on Mercer across from Teatro Zinzanni, plus one on Fifth across from the Ducks. If you park near the Children’s Museum or Key Arena, you’ll have to walk up the hill or around on Broad.
