YES! The street festival is happening rain or shine (unless there’s a hurricane, of course). In the event of rain, the street is prepared with lots of back up tents covering most of the street — but we still recommend bringing an umbrella in case it gets crowded.
The outdoor bars, stein-holding contests, and Game Lounge Tent will still be set up outside in the street under tents if it is raining.
The live band will be performing inside on stage at Ulysses (9/23) and Route 66 (9/30) in the event of rain, but the music will still be playing in speakers outside.
