***Roads close early, so be prepared to walk**** If you part near where we start, you will need to walk back to your car. The parade is a one-way route.
Recommended parking is the Auburn Transit Center....you then will walk to L Street and Main Street where we will hand out the banners.
After the parade, you will be near your car. You can find a place to park near L Street and Main Street and after the parade, you will walk back to your car.
11 AM Parade Starts - we typically are in the front, but I don't know until I pick up our information that morning.
It is a great experience.
