The parade reviewing stand will be at the intersection of Main Street and Las Cruces Avenue. This is where the presentation of medals to the Grand Marshals will occur. Opening ceremonies are scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at this location. People with sensitive hearing should be aware that this will also be the area where a cannon will be fired to mark the start of the parade. People are also reminded the cannon firing is simply blanks announcing the start of the parade and is not an emergency.
To accommodate the parade, Main Street, as well as streets that feed into the parade route will begin closing at 6 a.m. Parking will be available at the parking lot just south of El Paso Electric, the Doña Ana County Judicial Complex, Thomas Branigan Library, City Hall, and several parking lots located on the East side of the downtown area, between Main and Church streets.
