The FrostFest planning committee seeks assistance from the public to ensure the safety of all participants and spectators during the 14th annual FrostFest Illuminated Parade, which will take place Saturday, beginning at approximately 6 p.m.

Because the lighted parade occurs at dusk, the committee asks that vehicles not be parked in the public parking stalls located along Main Street between 17th and Fourth streets.

“In order to protect the safety of parade watchers during the FrostFest parade we work with local law enforcement and encourage no public parking on Main Street for the parade,” said DHDC Executive Director Traci Stanford. “In addition, we ask all parade participants to hand out candy rather than throw it and for parents to keep a close eye on children during the parade to keep them from running into the street. This parade is truly a spectacular event and we want to ensure it stays that way.”

Parking will be available on side streets and in public parking lots. The parade route is from 17th Street to Fourth Street. Vehicles will not be able to cross Main Street between Fourth and 20th Streets until the parade is over. The parade is expected to last approximately one hour.
