Public parking on those streets is prohibited after 3 p.m. and they will close to all traffic at 3:30 p.m. Main Street traffic will be diverted to Washington and McKean streets.

Jeeps included in the invasion will begin to park at 5 p.m. The invasion will run until 10 p.m. and streets will reopen as soon as the Jeeps have left.
