With the 2019 Santa Clarita Fourth of July parade quickly approaching, KHTS has highlighted the best parking locations for residents who plan to attend the annual event.

Santa Clarita’s annual Fourth of July parade can put a strain on the availability of parking near the parade route.

To help prepare attendees to overcome the crowds, KHTS has gathered a list of some of the public parking locations within walking distance of the parade:

• The Metro Station on Railroad Avenue
• The Old Town Newhall Public Library
• The Newhall Community Center
• Hart Park
• Hart High School
• Placerita Junior High School
• Parking Lot at 6th Street and Main Street

Street parking is permitted as long as it is a legal space and does not obstruct the parade route, according to officials.

Road closures scheduled to go into effect at 5 a.m. include:

• Main Street, closed in both directions from Newhall Avenue to Lyons Avenue
