Temporarily limiting access to a street, as for a festival, is not going to be seen by courts as an action "to limit expressive activity" – unless, perhaps, it was specifically scheduled to disrupt some usual expressive activity.
The community likely has other events, during the busy tourist season, with similar temporary restrictions of public spaces. Notably, one of the residents quoted as objecting to this event is a founder a summer music festival in the same town, which sells tickets, that appears to also convert usually-open public spaces into temporary paid-access venues.
