The Parade will step off at 2:00pm EDT
from the staging area by the Washington Monument,
and will proceed south on Charles Street to Pratt Street,
and then east on Pratt to Market Place.
Parade Day road closures and parking restrictions
will begin as early as 9:00am EDT on Sunday.
Between 12:00 noon and 5:00pm,
you should expect substantial traffic congestion and delays,
which will not abate until after the conclusion of the Parade.
The sooner you get downtown for the Parade,
the lesser your chances of being stuck in traffic.
Make a day of it by attending
the Official Parade Mass at 10:45am EDT
at the Baltimore Basilica
(409 Cathedral Street, between Franklin and Mulberry Streets),
and then proceeding from the Basilica to your viewing location.
Parade Day parking can be especially hard to find,
so we recommend booking convenient and affordable
Parade and Shamrock 5K Race parking in advance
through the Parade’s official parking partner,
