Heads Up for Road Closures!
This amazing music fest falls on the same day as the St. Jude Marathon, so expect some road closures in the area. But instead of stressing about it, look on the bright side! Arrive early, find a good parking spot, and soak in all the dayโs exciting eventsโbecause letโs be honest, who wouldnโt want to hang out in Crosstown?
Plus, if youโre local and running the marathon, bring along your race bibs for an awesome perkโa free beer from Crosstown Brewing Co.. Whether youโre a marathoner or just cheering for your friends, who wouldnโt love a little treat for a job well done?
