Several downtown streets will be closed to vehicle traffic beginning at 5:30 p.m. Barricades will be placed around an approximate eight-block staging area east of Gregg County Court House and the 300 block of E. Methvin Street. Access to the outdoor drive-through locations of Texas Bank and Trust will be permitted until 6 p.m. Drivers should use extra caution when driving near the parade route and staging area. Most downtown streets should re-open later that night.

Southbound Fredonia Street from Whaley to Methvin will be closed now through 5:00 p.m., Monday, December 12. In addition, all of Fredonia Street between Whaley and Methvin will be closed Friday and Saturday December 2 and 3, and Friday and Saturday December 9 and 10 between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. For information about the Christmas Parade or other Downtown Christmas events, please contact the Longview Chamber of Commerce at 903-237-4000.
