The 45th Annual Art in the Park offers artistry and color both on canvases and in the air this weekend in Steamboat Springs. The event will also bring lane closures and other restrictions to city streets on Friday, July 12 through Sunday, July 14.
Closures
One lane of eastbound US Highway 40 (aka Lincoln Avenue) at West Lincoln Park will be closed for event set up from noon until 5pm on Friday, July 12. The same closure returns on Sunday, July 14 from 4pm to 6pm for event tear down.
No parking is available on Lincoln Avenue west of 13th Street as well as on 13th Street from Lincoln Avenue to Gilpin Street. Bud Werner Library patrons will have access to the library parking lot as well as additional on-street parking on the south side of Lincoln Avenue from the bus stop to 12th Street for library business.
In addition, motorists will see parking restrictions around the event and should anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic in this area. Please use caution, slow down and follow event staff instructions.
Dogs: No dogs allowed at Art in the Park.
Steamboat Springs Animal Control reminds owners it is illegal to leave a dog unattended on public property, whether or not the dog is secured by a leash, cord or chain. In addition, with the increase in temperatures, do not leave your animal in a vehicle or an uncovered bed of a truck when the temperature is 70 degree or above. It doesn’t take long to turn your vehicle into a hot box and rolling down your windows or parking in the shade is not enough.
All three instances (Animal Tied Up Unattended; Animal in Motor Vehicle and Uncovered Pick-Up Bed when Temperature Above 70°) are violations of the Steamboat Springs Municipal Code. For the welfare of pets, rescue and enforcement actions will be taken.
Steamboat Springs Transit (SST)
