🚧 STREETS IMPACTED INCLUDE:
• Westbound lanes of Brighton Avenue
• Cambridge Street from Jackson Mann Community Center to BMC
• Washington Street to Oak Square YMCA

Please pay close attention to all temporary No Parking signs posted along the routes and move vehicles ahead of time.

Road closures related to the parade are expected from approximately 11:45 AM–3:00 PM, although parking restrictions, towing and event preparations will begin much earlier in the morning.

Please help us spread the word, especially to neighbors and businesses along Cambridge Street, Washington Street and Brighton Avenue.

Plan ahead. Move your car. Come out and enjoy a great day in Allston-Brighton! 🧡
