Bus Detours in Alameda for the 4th of July Parade

Anyone who has tried to drive anywhere on our island on July 4 knows that detours are prevalent to accommodate our famous 4th of July Parade. And don’t forget that all vehicles must be cleared from the parade route by 4 a.m.—otherwise they will be towed away—and the streets along that route will be closed to all traffic starting at 7 a.m., unless, of course, you are in the parade.
