Officials with the Washington Parish Free Fair Parade say they are set to take to the streets of Franklinton today at 10 am, taking its traditional route down Washington Street, turning right on Cleveland Street, finally merging on Main Street to finish in the fairgrounds.
They ask all parade goers to exercise caution while parade floats, marching bands, and support groups have the road and citizens should never run into the street to pick up candy or parade throws.
The parade will line up parade entries (except for marching bands and dance groups) at the Franklinton High School. At 9:30 AM all streets on the Parade route will be closed and floats will be brought onto Washington Street. At 9:00 AM all westbound traffic will be diverted off Hwy. 10 onto Section line Rd. (High School Road), traffic coming onto Washington St.
The parade will start at 10:00 am.
