Road closures announced for McAllen Holiday Parade
The city of McAllen announced the road closures for this year's holiday parade.
Multiple streets will be blocked around Veterans Memorial Stadium, that includes portions of 23rd Street, Bicentennial Boulevard and Pecan Boulevard; the parade route is about 1.5 miles long.
"We intend to start closing Bicentennial Boulevard on Friday starting at noon then progressively through Saturday," McAllen City Commissioner District 2 Joaquin "J.J." Zamora said. "Ten by 4 p.m., all the streets from Nolana to Houston will be closed, as well as part of 23rd street."
Those closures begin on December 6, the day before the parade.
Those planning to attend will need to park further away. The city has a park-and-ride shuttle to help everyone get to the parade, it's called the Metro Polar Express.
