In conjunction with the Bowling Green Holiday Parade scheduled for 10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18, several Bowling Green streets will be closed and on-street
parking will be prohibited in many downtown locations.

Main Street will be closed between Poe and Napoleon roads from 9:45 a.m. on Saturday until the end of the parade. This closure will also impact traffic flow on streets that intersect with Main Street between Poe and Napoleon. These side streets will also close at approximately 9:45 a.m. In addition, side streets between Poe and Ridge will be utilized for parade preparations from approximately 8:30 a.m. until 11 a.m. During this period of time, access to these side streets will be limited to local use. A truck detour route will be posted.

Parking during the parade will be prohibited on Main Street between Poe and Napoleon. Vehicles are to be removed from Main Street prior to 3 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18. Any vehicle parked on Main Street after 3 a.m. will be towed at the owner’s expense.

On-street parking will also be prohibited in the following locations:
• Dixie Avenue between South Main and Kenwood
• South Church Street between Sand Ridge and Pearl
• Clay Street between North Church and North Grove
• North Grove between Wooster and Poe

Parking will be reinstated on Main Street and other locations after the parade “clean-up.” All roads impacted by these closures will reopen as soon as possible upon completion of the parade.
