If dropping off participants to continue to parking…
Turn right onto Roeder Road. Drop participants. TO EXIT YOU MUST turn right onto Fenton Street. (The Police will not let you turn around or turn left. Right turns only.) From Fenton Street turn right onto Colesville Road. We recommend skipping the backup on Cedar and driving another few streets and turning right onto Dale Drive. From Dale turn right onto Wayne Avenue. From Wayne Avenue turn left onto Fenton Street. Once on Fenton Street you drive just past Silver Spring Avenue and there is an entrance to the parking garage off of Fenton Street.
Parking:
1) Use the garage between Silver Spring Avenue and Sligo Avenue (also accessible by Fenton St.) This is at the end of the parade route so you will be back at your car as the parade ends. Walk to Line-UP.
2) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN YOU PARK IN TOWN CENTER LINE-UP GARAGE
Parade Route and Dis-banding:
Garage units will be exiting out the entrance ramp and turning right onto Ellsworth. Section H Units will be exiting out to Veterans Place. The parade will merge and begin on Ellsworth Drive. The grandstand will be near the intersection with Fenton Street. The parade continues on Ellsworth turning left onto the North bound lane of Georgia Avenue. The parade ends at Silver Spring Avenue. Participants should turn left onto Silver Spring Avenue and disband to cars.
