Tortuga Music Festival returns to Fort Lauderdale Beach with full-day performances and road closures to accommodate massive crowds
Fort Lauderdale Beach, Florida – Fort Lauderdale Beach is preparing for a big inflow of music fans from April 4 to April 6, 2025 as the much-awaited Tortuga Music Festival draws near. Daily from noon until 10:30 p.m., the event at 1100 Seabreeze Boulevard will showcase a lineup of well-known musicians spanning several genres. Though, this interesting occurrence will change access to some coastal locations and influence local traffic patterns.
A portion of Fort Lauderdale Beach will be set aside just for the three-day celebration, making it unavailable to the general population. Those planning to visit the beach for leisure should consider alternative locations or dates.
Drivers in the vicinity should expect more than normal traffic and potential delays. Key routes like A1A and Seabreeze Boulevard are likely to bear the most of the rise in traffic.
Southeast 17th Street and Las Olas Boulevard are expected to see more traffic as well. There will be a temporary traffic closure impacting both northbound and southbound lanes from Harbor Drive to SE 5th Street helping festival-goers to safely exit each night. From 9:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., all traffic south of East Las Olas Boulevard will be directed northbound on A1A or westbound off the barrier island via the East Las Olas Boulevard bridge.
Regarding parking, the festival lacks specified event parking spots. Attendees are encouraged to use alternative modes of transportation. Among the options available are the Water Taxi, which guarantees a quick and pleasant trip to and from the event, and ridesharing companies. Designated pick-up and drop-off spots at Las Olas Oceanside Park, 3000 E. Las Olas Boulevard, and the Harbor Drive loop have been set up to simplify the operation. Rideshare users must follow these designated locations to avoid potential fines.
