North Georgia Forest Service Roads - National Rainbow Family Gathering?

I subscribe to National Forest email alerts and received this today.

Forest Service roads FS77 and FS83 on the Chattahoochee National Forest are temporarily closed for public safety due to traffic concerns related to the 2018 National Rainbow Family Gathering taking place in the area. FS77 is known as Winding Stair Gap Road, and FS83 leads to the Bull Mountain trailhead. Both are in the Nimblewill area of Lumpkin County. Please avoid these roads at this time.
I was thinking of riding the Southern Cross route this weekend or in the upcoming weeks but not sure now. Does anyone know what this event is and how long it lasts? More importantly, does anyone know what its impact might be and if the forest service will do a hard closure and prevent access or just gate off or barricade the road?

Maybe I'll just go to the Cohutta instead.
