Electric Daisy Carnival 2026 returns to Orlando with special event zones and doubled traffic fines

The Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) will return to Orlando for its 15th year, taking place at Tinker Field from November 6 to November 8, 2026, FOX 35 Orlando reported. The three-day festival will feature over 40 artists, including headliners such as David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Alesso, Steve Aoki, Afrojack, Mau P, SLANDER, and Wooli.

Gates will open daily at 1 p.m. and close at 11 p.m. While three-day passes have sold out, select tickets for Sunday and amenities like after parties and shuttle services remain available, according to FOX 35 Orlando.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office has established a special event zone from 6 p.m. on November 5 to 8 a.m. on November 9 to manage traffic and prevent unpermitted events during EDC. Within this zone, traffic fines will be doubled, and vehicles may be impounded for violations, FOX 35 Orlando noted.

The special event zone boundaries and enforcement aim to mitigate severe traffic complications during the festival days, according to FOX 35 Orlando.

Local residents and visitors are advised to plan accordingly for increased traffic and to be aware of the special event zone regulations during the festival period.
