Council okays Garden Street closure on June 13 for BEDA Firefly Festival; formal resolution to follow
Summary
Kristin Nelson appeared on behalf of a Block Party application by BEDA; the council decided to close Garden Street on Saturday, June 13, from morning until midnight for the Firefly Festival, with a formal resolution to be presented March 9.
Kristin Nelson attended the meeting to answer questions about a Block Party application submitted by BEDA for the Firefly Festival scheduled June 12–13, 2026. Nelson explained that the original request proposed closing Garden Street at Madison from Friday night through Saturday midnight; after council discussion, the closure was narrowed to Saturday, June 13, from morning until midnight.
The council did not take final action at the Feb. 9 meeting but directed that a resolution reflecting the Saturday-only closure be prepared for the March 9 meeting. The minutes indicate the matter will return for formal resolution at that time.
