Commodore Plaza to be closed for Summer Rendezvous

July 4 will be the first of five Saturdays in a row, where Commodore Plaza will be closed to auto traffic for the night. This is an experiment, and it if works, who knows, it could be a permanent thing.

From 9:30 to 11 pm, bands will be playing and there will be food and drink and it will be a fun street party. It's perfectly timed to occur right after the fireworks in Peacock Park. In fact, there is talk of a conga line or something like that, which will wind its way from the park up to Commodore.

The party will go until 4 am, the music will just go inside at 11 pm.

The long working title for the street party is "Summer Rendezvous -- Fall in Love With the Grove Again." A mouthful.
