• “Reserving” a Spot for the Independence Day Parade : We would like to remind the community that the policy of the City of Sheboygan is that you may bring tarps and chairs to hold a spot between the sidewalk and street along the parade route after 5:00 AM on July 4th.  Any items placed out prior to that time will be considered abandoned property and removed.  This is to help minimize the amount of over-night vandalism and help to prevent conflicts over those spots.

Following the Independence Day Parade

• Following the Independence Day Parade, Broughton Drive will remain closed to vehicle traffic and parking will be prohibited from Michigan Avenue south to Wisconsin Avenue for the safety of pedestrians and the lakefront activities.
• Parking will be prohibited along the north side of Pennsylvania Avenue from N. 8 Street west to N. 14 Street all day to provide two lanes of westbound traffic leaving from the lakefront.

After the Fireworks

• After the fireworks, traffic flow will be restricted at the Rotary Intersection at S 8th Street and Indiana Avenue.
• There will be no north bound traffic allowed on S 8th Street from the round-about intersection.
• All traffic coming south across the 8th Street Bridge will ONLY be allowed to proceed WEST on Indiana Avenue from the round-about intersection.
• All traffic coming out of South Pier Drive will ONLY be allowed to proceed SOUTH on S 8th Street from the round-about intersection.
• All traffic coming north on S. 7^th St will be able to enter the rotary from Indiana Ave but must exit south on S. 8^th
• There will be no east bound traffic permitted on Pennsylvania Avenue beyond 14th Street.
• If you view the fireworks from north of the Sheboygan River and have to get back to the south side, we suggest leaving west on Pennsylvania, Erie or Superior Avenues, and using 14th Street or Taylor Drive to go south.
• If you view the fireworks from south of the Sheboygan River and have to get back to the north side, we suggest turning west on Broadway Avenue or Union Ave to reach South Business Drive and turn north.
• We will attempt to have Officers manning the traffic lights on 14th Street to facilitate movement. Remember that everyone wants to leave at once and that is just not going to happen. Please be patient, and watch for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Everyone is encouraged to walk or use a bicycle if practical.
