After working with the city to develop a route “that would enhance the safety of parade participants,” Lawrence High School’s homecoming parade will be held Wednesday evening.

The new route will process along 21st Street from Stewart Avenue, just east of Iowa Street, to the entry to the south parking lot of LHS, a block shy of Louisiana Street.

The procession, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m., will culminate with “Rally Around the Lion” in the west gym of the school, 1901 Louisiana St. Activities include an introduction of the homecoming candidates, indoor and outdoor games, concessions and a bonfire.
