Traffic Alert for the Center Moriches Area …

On Saturday December 12, 2009 the Center Moriches Fire Department will be hosting the 2009 Holiday Parade of Lights. This spectacular parade will bring many community groups, local fire departments, EMS Agencies and cartoon characters into town. The parade will end with a visit from Santa on top of a Center Moriches Fire Truck.

A few thousand people will also brave the frigid cold and line the streets of Center Moriches.

For those traveling to Center Moriches for the parade, the parade starts promptly at 6pm. Suffolk County Police will start shutting down Main Street around 5:45. These road closures will affect every street south of Montauk Highway from Senix Avenue on the west end of town to Ocean Avenue on the east end of town. Please plan on getting into town by 5pm … and dress warm, temperatures will be in the low 30's

We ask all residents to have all your errands done as early as possible Saturday afternoon. Local roads will become very congested with parade traffic and will be impassable. The Moriches By-Pass (Frowein Road) will be the alternate route to use to bypass the Main Street Parade.

Streets impacted by the parade:

All Streets south of Main Street from Senix Avenue to Ocean Avenue
Brookfield Avenue, Chichester Avenue, Clinton St and Railroad Avenue from Frowein Road to Montauk Hwy.

If you have an emergency please remember to dial 911, our emergency vehicles will have full access to any area of town. If you have any questions or need any additional information please e-mail Parade@centermorichesfd.com
