The Spencerport Volunteer Firemen’s Association has been busy preparing for this year’s annual carnival and is counting on the community’s support and hoping for great weather.
The following road closures are necessary on parade day, June 7, in order to dispel confusion to the motoring public and pedestrians. Beginning at 6 p.m. on June 7, Union Street (Rt. 259) will be closed to vehicular traffic from Route 31 (Nichols Street) to Brockport Road.
At 6:30 p.m. the following road and street closures will be as follows; Brockport Road at Village Walk, West Avenue at Martha Street, Amity Street at Martha Street, Union Street at Canal Bridge, Lyell Avenue at Union Street, Lyell Avenue at Prospect Street, Maplewood at Union Street, Maplewood at Prospect Street, Amity at Union Street, West Avenue at Union Street.
The change has been made to the parade route due to construction on Lyell Avenue in the Village of Spencerport. The new route will take parade participants straight down Union Street and into the carnival grounds. Lineup for those who are participating in the parade will start at the intersection of Brockport Road and Union Street and continue south to the intersection of Union Street and Route 31. Traffic personnel will be on site and detour signs will be posted.
On Wednesday, June 6 at 7 p.m., the annual Youth Parade will be held. Youth groups from across the community will march down Union Street into the Village of Spencerport, ending up at the carnival grounds. Line-up for this event takes place at the corner of Union Street and Brockport Road in the parking lot of the plaza near the Veteran’s Memorial at 6:30 p.m.
Young children will also march and are welcome to dress up in costumes. Line-up for the smaller children will take place at the HSBC Bank starting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday is also “Pay One Price Night” – riders can ride all the attractions for just $18 starting at 5 p.m.
