For parade entries, Main Street will be closed at 12:30 pm to through traffic from Burrell Dr (125th Ave) to Goldsborogh St. To head toward your staging area, first please go on either Court Street or Indiana Ave. If on Court Street, turn onto Burrell Dr (125th Ave) heading to the intersection of Burrell Dr (125th Ave) and Main Street. However, if on Indiana Ave/Grant St (55) turn onto 129th Ave and head toward Main Street.
At the intersection of Burrell Dr (125th Ave) and Main Street 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 map on which way to go and where to exit. To exit staging areas on Main Street, 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.
