Tips & Advice

  • Drive in on Foothill, Huntington, Ivy or Primrose, since those stay open while Myrtle and the nearby avenues are barricaded for the evening.
  • Look for parking on Walnut, Olive, Colorado, Lemon or Lime between Ivy and Primrose, where through traffic is blocked but parking stays open.
  • Find your spot along Myrtle Avenue between Walnut and Palm avenues, where the parade heads north through Old Town.
  • Dress warmly for standing outside at an evening parade, since you'll be waiting along the curb on Myrtle Avenue after dark.
