Here's what you need to know about street closures and parking for the evening's festivities. Streets indicated in red on the map will be closed from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

East Ridgewood Avenue will be closed between Broad Street and Maple Avenue.
Broad Street will be closed from Franklin Avenue to Hudson Street.
South Walnut Street and Van Neste Square will be closed between East Ridgewood Avenue and Dayton Street.
There will be limited access to Chestnut, Oak, Walnut and Cottage streets from Franklin Avenue. However, parking is discouraged because these roads will become "one way in/out."
Handicapped parking is available in the Hudson Street parking garage.
The Station Plaza, Chestnut, Cottage and Prospect Street parking lots will all be open for the event.
