Street Closures for Sunday's Hollywood Christmas Parade

Formation map shows route and other restricted streets (City of LA)
Starting tomorrow and lasting through Monday, several streets in Hollywood will have closures and parking restrictions due to Sunday's Hollywood Christmas Parade.
The City of Los Angeles, Departments of Transportation and Police, expect thousands of people to fill the streets of Hollywood to watch this annual spectacle. Attendees are being urged to use public transit to get to the event, which travels in a U-shape starting on Hollywood Blvd at Orange, then moving east to Vine, south on Vine to Sunset Boulevard and west on Sunset, back to Orange.
The DOT is also reminding drivers that they will be "strictly enforcing a restricted no-parking policy for the Hollywood Christmas Parade. This will include the citing and impounding of vehicles parked on temporary restricted no-parking streets. Restricted parking will be in effect Nov. 28 through Nov. 30."
