LAKEPORT, Calif. – Motorists were advised on Wednesday morning that they would need to use alternate routes on Halloween in order for a parade of little ghosts and goblins to make its way through town and to accommodate trick-or-treating and other holiday activities in the evening.

The Lakeport Police Department said that Main Street between First and Ninth streets will be closed from noon to 1:15 p.m. Wednesday for the annual Lakeport Elementary School Halloween parade.

Motorists are advised to be aware of the parade route and use caution when driving in the area. Lakeport Police and Lakeport Public Works units will be on site conducting traffic controls.

Between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Mellor Drive south of 20th Street and the entire length of 19th Street west of Hartley Street will be closed to traffic for a Halloween Fair that will take place on Mellor Drive between 19th and 20th streets. Motorists are advised to use caution when driving in the area.

Motorists and pedestrians also are advised to use caution and watch out for each other throughout the Halloween evening as there is expected to be heavy foot and vehicle travel in the residential areas of the city.
