SCMPD would like to remind all parade attendees of certain restrictions concerning parking and streets that will be closed for the duration of the parade.
The parade staging area will be the first area affected by parking restrictions the day of the parade. Parking in and around the staging area and along the parade route will be clearly marked with "NO PARKING" bags over parking meters. Notices will be posted shortly reminding residents of parking restrictions prior to, and during, Tuesday's parade. In addition, other strategic areas of the Festival Area will be indicated by "NO PARKING" bags on meters. The "NO PARKING" bags are not to be removed. The penalty for removing the bags will involve towing the vehicle, towing charges and associated fines. Affected areas without meters will be posted within the immediate block and at Parking Pay Stations with "NO PARKING" signs.
The "Festival Area" for the St. Patrick's Day celebration is defined as follows:
All local ordinances concerning the festival will be strictly enforced. In this area, all alcoholic drink cups must be paper, plastic or styro-foam, and 16 ounces or less. No other alcoholic containers of any kind will be allowed in the Festival Area.
At left is a map indicating the parade route. People living, visiting, and/or parking along the route are reminded that all cars must be removed no later than 6:00 a.m. before the parade. All vehicles illegally parked in areas affected by the parade will be towed at owner's expense. And, the vehicle owners must obtain a vehicle release form from Police Headquarters at Habersham and Oglethorpe Streets in order to claim any towed vehicle. Proof of ownership is required to obtain a vehicle release form from SCMPD.
