Numerous police agencies and citizen volunteers will help with traffic control along the parade route. Twin Falls Police would like everyone to be aware
of the following:
• As in previous years, all vehicle traffic will be blocked from crossing both Blue Lakes Boulevard North and Shoshone Street from approximately
8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The practice of rerouting traffic is done to ensure the safety of the large amount of pedestrians along the parade route
and to permit the parade floats to move unobstructed. If you will be traveling during the time of the parade, please plan your route accordingly.
• In the past, there have been instances in which small children have been injured after running onto the roadway to gather candy thrown to them
from passing floats. The Police Department asks that all parents attending the parade watch their children closely and restrain them from running
onto the roadway. All of the parade participants in the parade have been warned that throwing candy from their float is illegal and that they
will be escorted from the parade if they violate this City ordinance.

The truck route will be diverted during the parade. Please see attached map.
We ask motorist driving into the City of Twin Falls from the Perrine Bridge area to plan ahead. All thru southbound traffic on Blue Lakes Boulevard
North will be diverted to the east at Falls Avenue East. We recommend that all motorists use alternate routes before entering the parade area, utilizing
Pole Line Road to travel either to the east or west side of Twin Falls. We recommend all truck traffic traveling through Twin Falls to go West on Pole
Line Road to Washington Street North or to remain on Pole Line road to Highway 93, or travel east on Pole Line Road to Eastland Drive, then south to
Kimberly Road. This will allow traffic to avoid street closures.
