Next to govt square for easy bus rides or streetcar to the site
Plenty of great local beer choices plus plenty of Sam Adams booths
Cons
Still feels way more cramped on 5th
Lines were very long and ran into each other on 5th and thus you couldn’t even get through- so you could go on the sidewalk but then couldn’t see what the booths were anyhow
More disruption to traffic compared to 2nd/3rd
Overall I thought it was fine. I wasn’t as opposed to the new location as I thought I might be. I still prefer 2nd/3rd overall even with the sun just because there is a lot more space and the booths seem way more manageable. I do think this location could work better though if they just used the side streets more. They mainly seemed for portapotties but you could really expand better out I feel like.
It just feels like a festival that has grown to take in more than half a million people could use some more space than we give it.
