Special parking restrictions will be in effect before and during the parade along the route from Hyattsville Middle School along 42nd Avenue (starting at Oliver Street), Jefferson Street, and Hamilton Street (between Gallatin Street and 40th Place up to 37th Place) until it reaches the reviewing stage at Magruder Park. The parade route will be designated a NO PARKING area between the hours of 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 27.
After the parade, residents can stop by Northwestern High School’s Community Day fair from 1-4 p.m. featuring performances and local resources put together by students.
Residents will also be given to chance to participate in early voting throughout the day from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. at the Magruder Park Recreation Center.
Grab your dancing shoes and get ready for the DMV’s N2N band to take the park stage from 6:30-8:30 p.m with their mix of old and new R&B, soul, pop and Motown. Residents can also enjoy a local craft beer from Calvert Brewing Company, one of Maryland’s largest breweries. Last but not least, sit back, relax and enjoy the fireworks show starting at dusk!
