Arts on the Avenue is happening from 4 p.m. until 10 p.m.

The event is hosted by Festivals Kelowna and it’ll feature a variety of art exhibitions and demonstrations, but it’ll also result in a fairly major road closure.

Bernard Avenue will be closed from Water Street to Ellis Street from 11 a.m. until 11:45 p.m. today to accommodate the event.

Intersections in that stretch will not be affected by the closure, however, and cars will be able to pass through heading north/south.

There will also be restricted parking on the east side of Water Street and Pandosy Street, from Lawrence Avenue to Bernard Avenue, for the duration of the event.

Transit bus #1 will be rerouted off Bernard Avenue during the closure and you can find out more on route changes through the BC Transit website.
