Tomorrow is the Christmas Parade Lincoln Hwy is closed to traffic from Hope Ave to 13th Ave.

See you at the Parade!

Tomorrow will be an exciting day in Coatesville and we'd like our community members and visitors to have a wonderful time. We'd also like everyone to be prepared for parking restrictions, road closures and additional pedestrian traffic.

The annual Coatesville Christmas Parade is scheduled to begin in the west end, traveling east, beginning at 10am. Parking along the parade route is prohibited and vehicles will be ticketed and towed, beginning at 6am. Many of our community members and visitors have probably already taken notice to the temporary no parking signs. In order to prepare for the parade and then have parade participants safely participate and/or perform, Lincoln Hwy will be closed to traffic, from 8am until approximately 2pm, between Hope Ave. and 13th Ave. We ask that everyone be patient and follow the guidelines.
