ORLANDO, Fla. – The city of Orlando on Friday announced which roads in the downtown area will be closed, and for how long, as this year’s Electric Daisy Carnival gets underway on Tinker Field.
Organizers offered several reassurances to ticketholders on Twitter that the event would start on time following Hurricane Nicole, which was seen to have tossed around tents and other debris across the venue space. The messaging credited Insomniac, EDC Orlando’s production team, for bringing the festival to life.
