Beware: Zombie Pub Crawl prompts street closures in downtown Minneapolis

The wildly popular Zombie Pub Crawl will bring thousands of costumed revelers to downtown Minneapolis on Saturday, prompting street closures.

The event runs from 4 p.m. to midnight Saturday in the Warehouse District, but zombies have been known to wander. Beware.

Ticket and transportation information, as well as a pub crawl map can be found at the official web site.

The following streets will close, according to the city of Minneapolis:

First Avenue North from Sixth Street North to Third Street North (full closure, no vehicles allowed).

First Avenue North from Sixth Street North to Seventh Street North (local access will be maintained).

Sixth Street North from Hennepin Avenue to Second Avenue North (local access will be maintained).

Fourth Street North from Hennepin Avenue to Second Avenue North.

In addition, sidewalks along these streets will be closed from building face to building face in the event area. Access will be limited to people who pay the entry fee. (Anyone who lives or works within the closure will be allowed access with proper identification.)

Although a section of Fifth Street North will close to traffic, the MetroTransit Green and Blue line trains will continue to operate during the event.

The annual event was certified in 2014 by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest gathering of zombies, with 15,458 participants.
