Organizers and law enforcement in Grenada are putting advance traffic arrangements in place ahead of the upcoming We Pan Fest, with the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) officially releasing a public advisory outlining a temporary vehicular road closure that will take effect in June 2026.
Per the official announcement from the Office of Commissioner of Police, the section of The Carenage public road running from its intersection with Hughes Street toward Sendall Tunnel will be closed to all non-emergency motor vehicle traffic on Sunday, June 28, 2026, between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. This temporary restriction is being implemented to clear space for the We Pan Fest event, allowing organizers to host activities safely and comfortably for attendees.
Crucially, the closure order does not apply to emergency response vehicles of any kind. RGPF stressed that full, unimpeded access must be maintained for emergency vehicles across the affected stretch of road for the entire duration of the event, to preserve public safety and enable rapid response if any urgent incident occurs.
For all other private and commercial motorists, the full traffic restriction will remain in place throughout the 8-hour closure window. The police force is urging all drivers who regularly travel along this route to plan their journeys in advance, and make use of marked alternative routes during the closure period to avoid unnecessary delays or congestion.
In closing the advisory, RGPF expressed gratitude to the Grenadian public, local residents, and road users for their understanding, patience, and ongoing cooperation as law enforcement works to balance two key priorities: upholding public safety across the island, and enabling community events like We Pan Fest to run smoothly and successfully.
