Best place to watch the parade?

McLaughlin from Pritchett to Doctors Drive is lined sidewalks and so is Munford Avenue. Bring your chairs!

Float staging

The Munford High School parking lot will be the staging area. Do NOT drive onto Park St. then Pritchett Dr. until everyone one in your party has arrived. No cars will be allowed on Pritchett Dr. except for floats, including vehicles dropping off parade participants. When lining up for the parade you will leave the Munford High parking lot and turn right onto McLaughlin Dr. and follow to the 3 way stop and turn right onto Park St. go through the next 4 way stop and continue on Park until it runs into Pritchett Dr. You will then drive down Pritchett until you are directly behind another float/vehicle. Do not leave spaces. Please pull all the way forward, this allows for a much smoother lineup and parade start. This year, the Parade will turn left from Pritchett Dr. onto McLaughlin. Right onto Doctor’s Dr. Then Right onto Munford Ave. It will officially end at Tipton Road, Church of Christ.  You may not stop here.  You will turn left on to Charles Avenue and go to Maple Hill Drive and take left to get back to Munford High. You will NOT be able to go any other direction, but back to the High School NO EXCEPTIONS!
