The Westport Parks & Recreation Department, in conjunction with the Westport Police Athletic League and the Westport Downtown Merchant’s Association, will be holding its annual Halloween Parade in the center of town on Wednesday, October 29^th, with a rain date of October 30^th.

This is a very popular event that attracts hundreds of people. To accommodate the large volume of pedestrian traffic, several roadways in and around the parade route will be closed during the event.

The following roads will be affected:

• Main Street will be closed from Post Road East to Avery Place starting at 2:30 p.m.
• Avery Place will be closed starting at approximately 3 p.m.
• Myrtle Avenue from Evergreen Avenue to Main Street will be closed starting at approximately 3 p.m.

All roads are expected to reopen by 6 p.m. Motorists should expect delays in the center of town due to these closures. The police department asks that motorists use extra caution when driving through the area.
