It’s Santa! I know him! Saturday - Santa Claus is comin’ to town!

TRAFFIC ALERT: Santa Claus is coming to town for the annual Midland Santa Holiday Parade! He’ll actually be visiting Midland a few times this year, but what else would you expect from Sparkle City? ✨🎅

To accommodate the Midland Santa Holiday Parade as Santa travels from Center City to Downtown Midland, the following streets will be closed on Saturday, November 22 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.:

• Eastlawn Dr. from Swede Ave. to Saginaw Rd.
• Saginaw Rd. from Haley St. to St. Andrews Rd.
• Ashman St. from Cambridge St. to Main St.
• Main St. from Gordon St. to State St.
• Washington St. from Haley St. to Cambridge St.
• Dartmouth Dr. from Bayliss St. to Cambridge St.
• Rodd St. from Bayliss St. to Saginaw Rd.
• Rodd St. from Ann St. to Main St.
• Northbound Jefferson Ave. from Vail St. to Saginaw Rd.
• Southbound Jefferson Ave. from Vail St. to Saginaw Rd.
• Carpenter St. from Gordon St. to Rodd St.
• McDonald St. from Ann St. to Main St.
• State St. from Main St. to Buttles St.

Parking will be prohibited on Ashman St. from Ellsworth to Main, on Main St. from Ashman to State, and on State St. from Main to Buttles from 6 a.m. – 12 p.m. The intersections of Ashman St. at Indian and Buttles will be closed, with our friends at the Midland Police Department stopping the parade at Indian and Buttles for 5-7 minutes every 15 minutes to allow passage of traffic.

Please note that the parade route on Ashman between W. Pine St. and E. Grove St. will be a special sensory-free block where parade participants will turn off their lights, music, and other noises to make a more welcoming space for our sensory-sensitive friends!

By the way, you can skip the cold and crowds and still enjoy the parade! MCTV will be broadcasting the parade LIVE from Downtown Midland! Learn more here: https://cityofmidlandmi.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=5283.

Hey Center City! Construction begins Monday, May 5 on Jefferson south of Ashman Circle. Please see the announcement below for more information from our friends at the City of Midland,

TRAFFIC ALERT: You know what they say, “April showers bring May flowers,” and soon there will be conus aurantiacum (that’s Latin for orange cone) popping up on Jefferson Avenue.

Although, that could also be because starting Monday, May 5 Jefferson Ave. will undergo street reconstruction and water main installation from Lyon Road to the Ashman Circle.

This project will maintain northbound traffic on Jefferson Ave. and detour southbound traffic via Ashman St. and Carpenter St. Updates will be periodically posted at: https://bit.ly/midlandroads. Fun fact, you can see all upcoming and on-going street construction projects at the link above!

This project is estimated to be completed by the end of September. Check the comments for a map of the detour.
