We strongly encourage you to take the PATCO from either Collingswood or Haddonfield to Westmont Station and walk to a spot on Haddon Ave. Parking around the parade route will be extremely limited and subject to different parking authority regulations.
The parade will process down Haddon Ave from Crystal Lake Ave to Strawbridge Ave. Parade participants will enter the route from the PATCO parking lot - be sure to find a spot along Haddon Ave to make sure you can see everyone in the parade!
Parade participants will move continuously and perform along the parade route. There is no designated location for performances.
You are encouraged to bring water, chairs and signs of support!
