TONIGHT IS THE PARADE!

!!!!

The weather is going to be stellar for it too. A few reminders... the parade route begins shutting down at 630pm. At that time, if you encounter a road block, per Ephrata Police, you will NOT be permitted through - no exceptions. This is for everyone's safety. At that point, the roads remained closed until the parade is over. As roads are clear of pedestrians, they will be opened, but only once it is deemed safe to do so.

If you are expecting a delivery (i.e. Amazon) and live within the footprint of the parade, those drivers are told to park and walk to the delivery location. If you choose to order a food delivery service (i.e. Doordash, Grubhub, etc) and live in the footprint of the parade. Those delivery drivers will NOT be permitted to get to you without parking somewhere and walking. Please keep that in mind if you choose to order food as it may or may not get to you. Again this is all for the safety of fair-goers and those waiting to watch the parade.

After yesterday's gloomy weather, today is perfect weather for a parade and fair. We hope everyone has a fantastic evening.

We have over 45 Fire Police Officers from 15 different fire depts in the county ready to facilitate traffic and closing/reopening of the streets for the parade.

We ask that everyone give themselves extra time this evening to get around and to remain patient navigating detours.
