PARADE PARTICIPANTS:
Participants in the parade are required to enter the Luray Avenue lineup area from W. Criser Road or Kerfoot Avenue to avoid congestion. Luray Avenue will be marked as an eastbound only one-way street during the parade preparation and lineup.

The parade route will start from Luray Avenue and proceed onto Stonewall Drive then north

The Front Royal Police Department advises that motorists should add a little extra time to
their travel plans and to be patient as we assist in this Christmas celebration. For the safety
of the participants and the spectators, if you encounter a barricade or traffic control device
please obey it and redirect your route. It is illegal to move, go around or through barricades or to disregard traffic control devices.

Let’s make this a safe and happy holiday season for everyone.
