The Green Bay Police Department is preparing for the 38th annual Prevea Green Bay Holiday Parade on Saturday, November 19, 2022, and to help ensure the safety of spectators, we will be increasing officer presence and supplying vehicle stop barricades along the route.
The parade is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. on S. Jefferson St. and will travel north until turning west on Cherry St. to N. Washington St. and proceeding south where it will end at the intersection of S. Washington St. and Crooks St. around 11:00 a.m.
Those driving in the area can expect the following street and ramp closures the morning of:
- Madison St. exit/off-ramp east of E. Mason St.: Closure at 6:00 a.m.
- ALL streets south of E. Walnut St. and west of S. Monroe St.: Closure at 6:30 a.m.
- NEW for 2022: Closure of S. Madison St. for bus and large vehicle parking of approved parade participants from select groups.
- E. Walnut St. and Cherry St. from Washington St. to Jefferson St.: Closure at 9:30 a.m.
“The holiday parade is an exciting time for our community and as it also tends to attract visitors from surrounding areas, we would like to remind all spectators to be vigilant. If you see anything that appears suspicious, say something. Call 9-1-1 for emergencies or the police department for non-emergencies at (920) 448-3200 or look for an officer at the parade,” said Lieutenant Tom Buchmann, Green Bay Police Department. “It is also important to note that parents and caregivers should keep a close eye on small children at all times, so they do not get in the path of utility vehicles that are carrying equipment to set up for the parade, vehicles dropping off parade participants, which may be allowed past placed barricades, and vehicles that are pulling floats during the parade.”
