We have worked with the City of Saint Paul to create a plan which maximizes convenience to neighbors and minimizes overall impact to the street and circulation patterns for area residents and businesses. We have also coordinated the breakdown of the event to return your sidewalks, streets, and parkways to the neighborhood as soon as possible. Both city and event safety personnel are in place to ensure the entire neighborhood enjoys this celebration peacefully and safely.
