Plant City is set to revel in holiday cheer as the annual Christmas Parade takes over the streets tonight at 7:00 pm. The parade, a beloved tradition marking the season's festivities, will thread its way through the heart of the city, as detailed by the Plant City Police Department (PCPD) in an announcement issued early this morning.
For those planning to partake in tonight's spectacle, the PCPD has issued a reminder about road closures. Starting at 3pm, roads around the parade route will be shut, encompassing the staging and disbanding areas, until the completion of post-parade clean-up. Staying hydrated and parking legally were emphasized by the police, warning attendees of the parade to arrive early, ensuring a seamless experience.
For residents not attending, law enforcement suggests using alternate routes due to expected high volumes of pedestrian and vehicle traffic near the parade area. The procession will commence at S. Collins St. at W. Alsobrook St., make its way north to W. Reynolds St., head west to Wheeler St., before culminating at W. Drane St., the PCPD delineated in the announcement.
Plant City Christmas Parade Inc. is the proud host and organizer of this yuletide tradition. As the community gathers to celebrate, the PCPD extends a warm invitation to all, echoing the sentiments of safety and enjoyment. "We look forward to celebrating with you tonight, and as always stay safe Plant City," they expressed, signaling a night of communal joy and festivity.
