ANNOUNCEMENT — MONROE COUNTY FALL FESTIVAL PARADE INFORMATION


Date Issued: 09/20/2018
Expiration Date: 09/23/2018

Starting at approximately 11:00 AM on Saturday, September 22, 2018 the Ellettsville Police Department will close Temperance Street between the east and west splits for the Monroe County Fall Festival Parade. Main Street will become a two-way street during this time. Signage and cones will be in place to direct motorists as well as several officers directing traffic.

Sale Street will be closed between Temperance Street and Vine Street. Vine Street will remain open to eastbound and westbound traffic.

Motorists traveling north on Sale Street and Matthews Drive from Vine Street will be forced to turn right (east) towards Bloomington. Motorists traveling south on Matthews Drive from McNeely Street will be forced to turn right (west) towards Spencer. To go the opposite direction motorists must go past the traffic pattern and turn around (i.e. if a motorist is traveling north on Sale Street from Vine Street and needs to go to Spencer the motorist will need to travel past Hartstraight Road, turn around, and will be able to travel west).

The parade will start at approximately 12:00 PM. The parade will travel north on Edgewood Drive from the Edgewood High School to Temperance Street. The parade will then travel east on Temperance Street. The parade will end at Paul Street. The judges' stage will be on the southeast corner of Sale Street and Temperance Street.

Larger vehicles in the parade will continue east on Temperance Street at the driver's discretion. Smaller vehicles in the parade can turn south on Paul Street and travel to Ritter Street and then turn west on Ritter Street to continue on to Sale Street.
