It's time for Manchester's biggest weekend! Bonnaroo begins on June 15 and runs through the 19th.
If you're headed to the event, we know you've got the list of the performers memorized by now, but just in case! Here's a refresher
⬇
Individual day and 4-day tickets are still available and if you haven't bought parking accommodations, act fast.
🌈 Here's a look at the latest forecast 🌈
When partying like a proper Bonnaroovian, getting there safely is the most important thing. We've got you covered on that front with our travel guide. There are no gas stations on-site, so be sure to fill up when you're still an hour or so away.
It's best to avoid peak travel times
► Tuesday peaks with longer wait times at around 8 a.m. and then averages out around 1 p.m.
► Wednesday has longer wait times from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
► Thursday's wait times peak at the start of the day and average long wait times until around 3 p.m. and pick up again at around 6 p.m. So your best time frame if you're looking to get out of traffic is 3 to 6 p.m.
► Friday morning has average traffic till 2 p.m., then things start to get longer from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.
