The parade route will begin at Bicentennial Park next to City Hall on Murfreesboro Road, go East down Murfreesboro Road, and turn left at Floyd Mayfield Drive. Walkers in the parade and floats with children riding will end at Roy Waldron Elementary School where parents can pick them up. Other floats and vehicles will turn right into Veterans Memorial Park so they can then go through the park to the back gate, and exit toward Murfreesboro Road.
