As the leaves turn and the air cools, Cookeville gears up for its annual Fall FunFest, set to take place this weekend, September 5-6. According to a recent announcement on the City of Cookeville's website, locals should prepare for street closures around the Historical Courthouse.
In the heart of the celebrations, several streets will be blocked off, affecting motorists and pedestrians alike. The closures include East Broad Street, Boyd Street, Freeze Street, South Madison Avenue, North Washington Avenue, and South Jefferson Avenue. Despite being a minor inconvenience, the closure details have been mapped out, with the streets scheduled to shut down by 8:30 a.m. on Friday, reopening by Sunday morning.
Furthermore, if you're eyeing the public parking lot off of Boyd Street, note that access will cease at 4 p.m. this Thursday, with the lot becoming available again come Sunday. The organizers are ensuring that for any festivity-induced kerfuffle, multiple alternative parking options, although unspecified, will be provided to accommodate the visiting crowd.
Those seeking more information or having queries regarding the festival can reach out to CityScape at 931-528-4612. The Fall FunFest promises a weekend of entertainment, craft vendors, and seasonal glee for residents and visitors, with street closures being a small price to pay for what is hoped to be a memorable community experience.
