The 2011 parade route will begin at the intersection of Easterday Avenue and Seymour.  The parade will travel west on Easterday to Ashmun Street.  North on Ashmun to Portage Avenue.   West on Portage to Ridge Street.   Note:   Construction continues on  Magazine Street so we will not be able to disperse there.  Please continue to Ridge Street to disperse.  

Line-up for the parade will be at the city garage property on the corner of Easterday and Seymour.   Volunteers will be available to direct traffic for ease of entrance and exit.   Please follow directions given by volunteers.

NEW QUIET ZONE!  Portage Avenue between Magazine and Ridge Street has been designated a quiet zone. We are asking all loud vehicles, including fire trucks not to use their horns on this section of the parade route.   Should be a good viewing location for those with sensitive ears!
