Art In The Park 2017: Parking, Shuttle, Traffic Info

PLYMOUTH, MI — Maneuvering in and around Plymouth’s Art In the Park will be a little tricky. Parking is also going to cost folks that don’t want to walk a long distance to downtown. Michigan second largest art show — which will feature more than 400 artists — starts Friday and runs through Sunday.

Plymouth officials said several road closures will go into effect starting Thursday. Some temporary parking restrictions will also be put into place during the event. The following roads are expected to be closed in Downtown Plymouth from approximately Thursday at 7 p.m. through Sunday at 9:00 p.m:
