VERY IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE PARADE ROUTE THIS YEAR: Due to not being able to use Mid-town Shopping Center for staging this year, the City of Oxford Mayor and Board of Aldermen have approved the following changes for the parade route. A copy of the map with these changes outlined is attached. a. b. c. The parade will stage on University Avenue at the entrance to campus. Starting at 3pm on December 3rd, Oxford Police will close the street and all access will be through Old Taylor Road or Gertrude Ford Parking Lot. The parade will go up University Avenue, turning left at South Lamar, proceeding around the City Hall side of the Square, down North Lamar and ending at the intersection of Price Street and North Lamar. Price Street will be used for groups to make their way to the Oxford Activity Center for pickup of the participants. This maintains the same basic route as previous years, just in reverse, allows no issues with any businesses, or individual homes for access to private property and the length of the parade route is a little shorter. *****DUE TO THE ROUTE CHANGE, THERE IS NO AREA FOR A GROUP OR FLOAT TO LEAVE THE PARADE ROUTE EARLY. ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST COMPLETE THE ENTIRE ROUTE. THERE WILL BE POLICE OFFICERS AND PARADE MARSHALS STAGED ALONG THE ROUTE TO ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING KEEPS MOVING AND TO ASSIST THE PARTICIPANTS*****
