The Official Parade Route

The “official” parade starting point can be at any point along Exchange Street. At this point it might be an easy landmark to use the intersection of State/Exchange. From there, the route will follow Harlow Street to Central Street. It will turn left onto Central Street and proceed down Central to the intersection at Main/State/Hammond. It then turns right onto Main Street and proceeds up Main Street through the intersection of Main/Union and continues up Main Street towards Cedar Street. The parade will end in the area in front of Davenport Park.
