Hey, Boston! It’s Saturday. That’s right, the sluggish week has finally come and gone and it’s nothing but pure bliss from here to the horizon. Well, until Sunday night at 11:59 p.m., that is. Actually, come to think of it, Saturday night is looking a little iffy given the plentiful street closures taking place.

Here’s what’s up: The annual Caribbean Carnival and Parade will be taking over the streets, closing some roadways and yielding parking restrictions. You know what that means. Sorry to say it, but you’re better off taking the MBTA tonight, friends.

According to the City of Boston Transportation Department,

The Jouvert Parade will step off at 5:30 AM on Blue Hill Avenue at Morton Street, and will proceed up Blue Hill Avenue to the Circuit Drive entrance (Peabody Circle) to Franklin Park. The Carnival Parade will begin at 1:00 PM on Warren Street at Martin Luther King Boulevard and will proceed on Warren Street to Blue Hill Avenue ending on Blue Hill Avenue at the Circuit Drive entrance (Peabody Circle) to Franklin Park.

And while the carnival and parade is sure to be good ole time, some roads will be inaccessible to drivers. From 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Blue Hill Avenue, from Warren Street to Glenway Street, as well as Warren Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard to Blue Hill Avenue will be out of service.

Further, temporary “Tow Zone No Stopping Saturday” signs will be posted at the following locations to accommodate this event:

• American Legion Highway, median island, for both directions of travel, from Blue Hill Avenue to Canterbury Street

• Blue Hill Avenue, east side (inbound side), from Morton Street to American Legion Highway, and both sides, from American Legion Highway to Warren Street

• Dale Street, both sides, from Walnut Avenue to the driveways near and opposite #56 Dale Street, and both sides, from Sherman Street to Warren Street

• Columbia Road, both sides, from Blue Hill Avenue to Seaver Street

• Glenway Street, both sides, from Blue Hill Avenue past Old Road to #11 Glenway Street

• Glenway Street School Yard, along the fence abutting Glenway Street facing vehicles in the lot, for EMS use only.

• Martin Luther King Boulevard, both sides, from Warren Street to Washington Street

• Old Road, both sides, from Glenway Street to Columbia Road

• Seaver Street, both sides, from Blue Hill Avenue to a point 300 feet westerly, at approximately #280

• Warren Street, both sides, from Martin Luther King Boulevard to Blue Hill Avenue

• Circuit Drive, both sides, from Blue Hill Avenue to Morton Street

• Walnut Avenue, Franklin Park side, from Seaver Street to Sigourney Street

• Sigourney Street, Franklin Park side, from Walnut Avenue to Glen Road

Sorry about the inconveniences, all. I don’t make the rules, I just report on them.
