You MAY NOT PARK at Bishop Egan. You will need to park at Pennsbury High School.( This school is at the end of the parade.)
And take the shuttle bus to Bishop Egan or walk the 1.4 miles to the start of the parade.
Leave enough time to get to the start of the parade IF you are planning on parking and taking the shuttle with your dancer.
