The NCAA March Madness Music Festival will be held at Hemisfair Friday, March 30 through Sunday, April 1, 2018. This free event will attract thousands of visitors into the downtown area, and several streets nearby will be closed for the duration of the festival.
To accommodate these closures, VIA Metropolitan Transit bus routes in the vicinity will be on detours beginning Thursday, March 29 and continuing through Monday, April 2. Regular route service will resume Tuesday, April 3.
