These are the same closures implemented at the Pensacola Christmas Parade, the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade, the Krewe of Lafitte Parade, and the Grand Mardi Gras Parade.
Drivers and pedestrians are reminded to use caution in the area. Heavy parade and float traffic is expected between Wright Street and Main streets, impacting Garden, Jefferson, Palafox and Spring streets.
