EDC Orlando is underway at Tinker Field through Nov. 8, bringing an expected 95,000 people per day to the area around Camping World Stadium.
Orlando officials are advising drivers to plan for delays, road closures and nearby construction. The festival’s 15th edition features more than 100 electronic music artists across several stages.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office put a Special Event Zone in place Thursday that will remain active through Monday. It covers Colonial Drive from Tampa Avenue to Hiawassee Road; John Young Parkway from State Road 408 to WD Judge Road; and Old Winter Garden Road from John Young Parkway to Ferguson Drive.
Parking near the stadium is limited, according to Christina Moya, the city’s division manager of special events and traffic safety. Officials recommend attendees park downtown and use the free event shuttle, with pickup at Hughey Avenue and Central Boulevard.
Other options include rideshare, scooters or walking from downtown, Moya said. Waymo pickups and drop-offs are also included this year, and visitors should follow directions from officers on site.
Officials said the closures are expected to end and traffic should return to normal by Monday morning.
