ROAD CLOSURES
Main Street from Blivin Street to Winn Rd closes at 10am to traffic for the safety of our parade goers; there are many people setting up their tents and chairs and visiting with friends and family. The road will reopen at the conclusion of the parade. Note that many parade participants will be returning home so be patient with floats and large vehicles on the road
EVENT TIMES
The parade begins at noon from the area of Highview and Winn Roads. Please be mindful that traffic, especially pedestrian traffic, is heavy in this area from 10am until 11:30. At 11:30 the entire parade route closes to traffic so unless you are in our parade try to avoid the area. You will not be able to access the area immediately surrounding the parade route, as well, after 11:30 so please try to get to where you want to be before then! We also ask that you please be kind to our volunteers and Public Works officials who have been instructed to close the roads by our Police and Fire Departments for everyone's safety.
Immediately following the parade come to Horse Fair Park for entertainment from Graham & Maeve from 1:15 - 2:15, WaxLips from from 2:30 - 3:30 and FlashDrive from 5:00 - 9:00, along with kids games, great food and cold refreshments.
All of the food sold at Horse Fair Park supports local businesses and is a big fundraiser for many of our youth groups.
PARKING
To ensure that police and fire vehicles can get to where they need to in a hurry many roads around town and in some subdivisions are no parking. We have many parking lots around town to park in that give access to our parks. Horse Fair Park is open from 9am to 9pm and parking is $8. Thelen Park is open from 9:00 -11:30am and is $10. Spring Grove Park is open from 6:00 to 9:00pm and is $8 and Thelen Park opens again at 6:00 - 9:00pm for VIP fireworks. Show your parking pass from Horse Fair Park at Thelen Park after 6pm and parking is just an additional $2.
There is a temporary parking ban on some streets in the subdivisions of Oak Valley Estates, Oak Valley Hills and Whitetail Crossing. Residents who live on these streets can obtain permits at the Spring Grove Police Department through Wednesday.
