As of today, Arcand Drive is shut down to set up for Winterfest.  On top of Winterfest Friday and Saturday evenings, there are multiple sporting events in town. If you plan to drive anywhere on those evenings, be prepared for detours and lots of traffic. I suspect that the local bars will also be ramping up for St. Patrick’s Day (it’s truly amazing how many downtown bars are suddenly Irish this time of year), which is not going to help.

Personally, I think I’ll just walk over to Winterfest or plan on staying home this weekend!
