VENICE (CBS) — Beachgoers, beware.

The Windward Circle in Venice is scheduled through Sunday to be closed to accommodate an annual summer carnival.

Southbound traffic on Main Street will be routed around the traffic circle toward Venice Boulevard.

Admission is free, but tickets for rides must be purchased.
