Parade Route & Road Closures 

We hope you will take note and plan alternative driving routes on Friday, December 2, 2022 to avoid traffic delays due to the Winterlights Parade in downtown Meridian.   

1 )      Idaho Ave will be closed from Meridian to Main from 8 am - 10 pm.
2)      Main Street will be closed from the split corridor to Carlton Street from 4:00 - 9:00 pm.   
After the parade, the Main Street closure will then be reduced to just Broadway to Pine until 10 pm.

4)   Traffic may be slow and delayed at I-84 exit merging onto Meridian heading north during the parade from 4:00  - 7:30 pm.
Also expect delays at Franklin & Main and Meridian road intersections.
5)   3rd Street will be closed from Broadway to Franklin from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. 

Need a little social distance? 

For those who are not yet ready for large crowds huddled close together, we recommend watching the parade on 2nd Street.  See all the fun - with a little more space.   This is also a perfect option for those have strollers or just like a little bit more elbow room.
