The map seems fair. I'd be sure to stay in the street or sidewalk. State and South University are definitely city streets and I don't think they can reasonably be considered University property.
The problem with folks relying on sidewalks for public ingress and egress (carrying) is that in most cases sidewalks in the downtown area of many cities, villages are commonly known as "Marginal Walks." Meaning the walk (concrete), for example,extends from the curb to the front of the buildings along the street.
The only way to know the exact right-of-way is to obtain the Liber and Page numbers (Instrument Numbers used now) of right-of-ways and easements that may be of benefit or burden to the property owner(s) along the subject street. Unlike sidewalks you typically see in subdivisions--most of the time they lie withinthe road right-of-way--there's nothing noticeable on a marginal walk that would indicate where the right-of-way line may be.
Much like telephone poles, there are many who believe the poles are set within the roadright-of-way and/or placed on property lines common to adjacent property owners-this is not always the case.
As far as attending the Art Fair, the worst case scenario would be that they'd ask you to leave or secure the firearm in your vehicle. If you have a CPL and are OC, I don't know how you could be in violation of any firearm laws. Students of U of M, on the other hand, would be a different story.
