Bakersfield Police will start closing down access to Aera Park and the Kern River bike trail at Calloway and Jewetta starting at 8 p.m., as well as parts of Stockdale and Buena vista near the park.

We also want to remind everyone this evening that while they're having fun, whether it's out at the show or at home, please be safe, stay hydrated, and have a happy 4th of July.
