Parade Update

*************IMPORTANT****************

STAGING: Please remember that the staging area is on the north end of town this year. The entrance to the staging area is at the intersection of Pine Grove Avenue and Erie Street (near Port Huron Hospital and the south end of Pine Grove Park). Staging begins at 3:30 pm. Please do not arrive early. The road does not close until 3:00 and we need time to put the numbers on the street. If you arrive early, we will turn you away until we are ready.

Please do not call for your staging position. We won’t even know it until after we put the numbers on the street at 3:00.

Portajohns will be available in the staging area. We don’t know if there are portajohns in the disband area.

DISBAND: The disband area will be very confusing this year because we will be leading everyone to the grassy/gravel area of Desmond Landing. When you get to Griswold Street, you will turn left towards the water. KEEP GOING. DO NOT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. After you pass the YMCA building, you will enter the grassy/gravel area on Desmond Landing and find an open space to pack up. It will be extremely congested in that area because the carnival will be assembled in the parking lot behind the Harrington Inn. Please take your time and use patience – enjoy the carnival while you’re there!

TRANSPORTATION BACK TO STAGING: We will not be providing any transportation back to the staging area.

This is what we know so far. We will keep you updated as events unfold. Please visit this blog for more information.
