BOLINGBROOK, IL — Bolingbrook is gearing up to travel back to the Roaring '20s this weekend. Ahead of the themed PathFest and Pathways Parade Sunday, officials announced road closures to make room for the parade, kicking off at 1 p.m. Stepping off at the intersection of Lily Cache Lane and Plainview Drive, the 56th annual parade — which took a year off in 2020 due to pandemic-induced restrictions — will be a "bigger, more beautiful parade" than in years past, officials said in a statement. The parade's route, announced Wednesday, is different than past years this time around due to road construction, according to the Pathways Parade Committee. All roads on the route will be closed, and no parking will be allowed along the parade route starting at noon Sunday.
