Royal Avenue is scheduled to close at approximately 3:40pm in anticipation of the parade,
which will start at 4:00pm. Motorists shall detour the parade area via the truck route, which is South Street and Commerce Avenue.

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
on S. Royal Avenue; east on E. Main Street; north on Chester Street, and continuing until
turning onto 3rd Street and ending at the Warren County Government Center.

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.
