Organizers are asked to provide assistance to parkers needing access to the Maynard Street Parking Structure. The streets will open as soon as safely possible after the parade passes through.
The Jaycees have not been able to use this route since 2018 due to construction and COVID. The last Parade was held at Briarwood Mall but the Jaycees felt it important to bring this event back to downtown Ann Arbor.
The sponsor agrees to obtain all necessary permits, to provide evidence of proper liability insurance as required, and to comply with all City regulations governing the use of the streets and will reimburse the City for all event expenses.
Notification of the street closings will be provided through the City’s website, GovDelivery and through the Ann Arbor Jaycees communications distributions.
The event has been coordinated with all relevant City service areas for the purposes of traffic control and for the protection of the health and safety of the participants and the general public.
