Parking and Traffic Advisory
Due to parade route closures, vehicular traffic will not be permitted to cross Broad Street while the parade is in progress. Expect significant delays throughout the day.
Important tips for visitors:
Avoid driving through Center City if possible.
Use alternate routes and allow extra travel time.
Public transportation (especially SEPTA’s Broad Street Line) is strongly recommended.
If you must drive, avoid double-parking and plan to park in nearby garages outside the immediate parade area.
Additional parking updates and travel advisories will be posted as New Year’s Day approaches.
