🚨 Also, Truro area residents, please note the following I-35/county road/St. Charles street information for the Hinterland Festival later this week, as the Truro exit will be one of the main arrival sources for people attending the festival:
As many of you know, Hinterland returns Thursday, July 30 through Sunday, August 2, and our area will see a significant increase in traffic throughout the festival weekend.
Here are a few things area residents should expect:
✅ I-35 Exit 52 off-ramps (northbound and southbound) will be closed Thursday through Sunday. On-ramps will remain open.
✅ Daily festival parking traffic will travel through St. Charles from the Truro exit, using S. Morgan/Truro Pavement, Main Street, and N. Cross Street to access parking north of town. Expect increased vehicle traffic throughout the day, with heavier periods during arrival and departure times. Other parking and camping traffic will come through St. Marys, primarily on Wednesday and Thursday.
✅ Parking in St. Charles may be heavier than in previous years, including on residential streets where parking restrictions are not posted.
✅ Pedestrian traffic in St. Charles and on G-50 between St. Charles and the festival grounds is expected to be significant. Please be VERY cautious when driving in this area.
✅ Traffic may affect travel times for residents, visitors, and emergency response vehicles. Please allow extra time when traveling around the area.
Hinterland allows us the opportunity to welcome thousands of visitors passing through our community. A smile, a wave, and a little extra patience can go a long way during a busy weekend.
Please stay alert and plan ahead during the festival.
