While work continues on the Cypress Street renovation project, a new parade route allows public events and gatherings to continue uninterrupted.
The new route will begin on Pine Street at the intersection of North First Street, travel to and then up Walnut Street until it hits North 6th Street, then turn back toward Pine. The parade will then return to its starting location, creating a rectangular route to ensure viewers enjoy a similar experience to the traditional Cypress Street route.
A map of the route (PDF) shows the changes.
