The City of Cornelia reminds motorists it will be blocking off some downtown city streets Thursday for the Summer Nights Festival.

The city will close Hodges, Irvin, and Clarkesville streets at 2 p.m. on June 27. Any vehicles left parked on these streets after that time will be towed, a notice from the city states.

The festival runs from 5 to 9 p.m. and will include live entertainment, craft and food vendors, a kid’s zone, axe throwing, and more.
