Parade to shut some downtown streets

Baltimore traffic officials are closing several downtown streets Wednesday for a Shriner's parade that is scheduled to begin at Camden Yards at 7 p.m.

The parade will follow the same route as the Shriner's parade Monday, but will be shorter in duration.

From the ballpark, the parade will go north on Paca Street, east on Pratt Street to Market Place, where it will disband.

Pratt Street will be closed between Paca Street and President Street from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Also, two lanes of northbound Russell Street will be closed from Lee Street to Pratt Street during that time, and parking will be restricted along Baltimore Street.
