Down all of them? Does anyone have information about the exact times and locations of the parade route? Some people may need to leave the area.

I updated the post to include the route, assuming it's the same as in (most) past years: The parade leaves the Suffolk Downs parking lot at 1 p.m., moves along Bennington Street to Day Square, then along Chelsea Street to Maverick Square and, finally, along Meridian Street to Central Square.

Thanks Jim. I couldn't find the information anywhere else. I ended calling A7. One of two people there knew what the parade route was.
