Traffic in Miami-Dade is expected to be affected this weekend due to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and the III Points Festival. Local 10 reports that Miami Gardens and Wynwood will be the main areas of activity, with road closures likely causing delays. Commuters are advised to plan ahead.
In Miami Gardens, fans will gather at Hard Rock Stadium, where parking lots open at 3:30 p.m. and gates at 4:30 p.m. Tailgating is only allowed for those with both a parking pass and a valid concert ticket. The Eras Tour will start at 7 p.m. each night from Friday to Sunday, according to CBS News.
Loews Coral Gables is going all out with a "Swiftie Sunday Brunch," celebrating the singer's impact with themed cocktails and live music. "We are seeing a huge impact for the concert when you look at the lift in occupancy compared to the same weekend last year. We have a number of reservations for the concert," Felix Llibre, the hotel’s Director of Sales, told Local 10.
Fans heading to the concert need a prepaid parking pass, while designated lots are available for quick pick-ups and drop-offs. Miami Gardens residents can avoid road closures by using a city-issued resident pass or a driver’s license with a local address. They can also access the Turnpike via the on-ramps, as per Local 10.
This weekend, in addition to Taylor Swift's concert, the III Points Music Festival is happening in Wynwood, causing street closures until Sunday at 8 a.m. There are no listening areas outside the Hard Rock Stadium for those without tickets to the Eras Tour, and they will be asked to leave stadium property. Officials emphasize security measures to ensure a safe experience for fans.
