Brisbane City Council has cautioned New Farm residents to expect closures to Bowen Terrace, Oxlade Drive, the southernmost portion of Brunswick Street, the eastern half of Sydney Street, Moray Street, and Macquarie Street.
No parking will be allowed on Moray Street and Oxlade Drive.
Merthyr, Griffith, Lamington, and Gray Streets will be subject to altered traffic conditions for the duration of the festival.
New Farm Park and surrounding amenities will be inaccessible to vehicles during the road closures.
New Farm closures begin at 3:00 am June 7, and will continue until 12:45pm at latest.
