The four-day festival is at Discovery Park.

SACRAMENTO, California — Aftershock is happening from Thursday, Oct. 5 through Sunday, Oct. 8 in Discovery Park and around 160,000 people are expected to attend, making for traffic issues in Sacramento. 

Performances will happen between 12-9 p.m. Thursday, 12-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 12-8 p.m. Sunday. This means there will be impacts from late morning to late at night. 

The concert will be happening as people commute in the afternoon and evening hours from school and work, so anticipate additional impacts to and from downtown on I-5 and South Natomas during these times.

The Sacramento Police Department says to anticipate delays near Richards Boulevard on I-5 and Garden Highway. They estimate that 30,000-40,000 people will be in and out of the Discovery Park area each day. They say to check your favorite maps app before you drive and if attending the event, be patient and leave early.
