Co-ChairStaging Directions
For parade entries, Main Street is closed at 12:30 pm. For staging areas, please go south on either Court Street or Indiana Ave, then turn onto Burrell St (125th Ave), and head to the intersection of Burrell St and Main Street. At that intersection a member of the Crown Point 4th of July Celebration Committee will direct you to your staging area.
If you are dropping someone off for their parade entry, please follow the directions above. To exit parade route and staging area, turn onto Valdman Dr (by Taft Middle School) and go North on East St to Greenwood Ave. At the intersection with Greenwood Ave head East (turn right) and stay on Greenwood Ave until you come to Indiana Ave. At Indiana Ave you will be away from the road closing area so can proceed to your next destination.
