The City of Rapid City is implementing several parking and traffic changes ahead of next Thursday’s (July 2) community parade as part of the Real America Birthday Bash celebration.
The parade will begin at 7 p.m. at East Boulevard and Main Street, traveling west to Seventh Street before looping back along St. Joseph Street.
Officials say parking will be restricted in the downtown core after 5 p.m. The no-parking area includes Main Street from Fifth to Seventh streets, Seventh Street between Main and St. Joseph streets, and St. Joseph Street from Fifth Street. The restrictions mirror those used during the annual Festival of Lights Parade.
Traffic will also be impacted throughout the day. The parade staging area, stretching from East St. Patrick Street to East Boulevard, will close to traffic at 4 p.m. The entire parade route will be closed beginning at 5 p.m.
