An hour after the Bamboozle start time of 2:00 p.m., the streets of Asbury Park west of Grand Avenue were again quiet for a second day in a row.

Traffic flowed freely on Main Street, as well as on Grand. There was light traffic on the northern entryways to the city over Deal Lake on the Main Street and Norwood Avenue bridges. Similarly quiet was the southern entryway from Ocean Grove on Main Street. Sunset Avenue also had little traffic entering the city onto Main Street.

There were traffic backups on Asbury Avenue back to Ridge Avenue as cars entered from the Asbury Circle and had to wait at traffic lights. However, that delay was not unusual for a large event in Asbury Park.

Charter buses regularly entered and exited the city over the Norwood Avenue bridge to service concertgoers who left their cars at Monmouth Park in Oceanport. Meanwhile, with each arriving train hundreds disembarked to walk down Cookman Avenue to the waterfront, as shown in the photo above of festival-goers crossing Main Street. Repeating the scene from yesterday, few arriving by train stopped at the downtown businesses and the crowd was largely in their teens and early twenties.

Downtown Asbury again had parking spaces open, although not as many openings as on Friday night. Still, the downtown parking deck and the few private lots offering spaces had few takers, at least an hour into the event. The big moment on today’s Bamboozle bill will be headliner the Foo Fighters who will take the main stage at 7:30 p.m.

The festival ends tonight at 11:00 p.m. Sunday start time will again be 2:00 p.m. with an ending by headliner Bon Jovi to conclude at 11:00 p.m.
