Annual Boise parade to close downtown roads Saturday. Here’s what to expect
Throw the rest of your turkey scraps in a stock pot, and grab your coat and some comfortable shoes.
It’s time for the annual Boise Holiday Parade again.
For the 77th time, to be exact.
On Saturday, parade-goers will line downtown Boise for the festivities, which kick off at 10 a.m., according to the parade’s website. According to the Ada County Highway District, annual road closures to accompany the parade will start a few hours earlier, at 6:30 a.m.
Jefferson and Bannock streets are expected to be closed from 13th Street to 3rd Street until roughly noon, a Wednesday post from ACHD said. Between Jefferson and Bannock, 12th through 4th streets will close as well.
“If you’re heading downtown to enjoy the celebration, or simply passing through, be sure to give yourself a little extra time,” read the post. “And keep an eye out for the many families and parade-goers soaking up the holiday cheer.”
The parade, whose theme this year is “A Storybook Christmas,” will begin at Jefferson and 10th streets, and is expected to last roughly two hours.
