Press release from the City of Frisco:

December 4, 2020

(December 4, 2020) Many of the streets within the Frisco Square area will be closed Saturday evening, December 5, 4:30 to 10 p.m., for the sold-out “Dashing Through the Square” drive-thru event. All traffic will use northbound Dallas Pkwy and eastbound Page St. to enter the event so local traffic should use alternate routes to avoid being delayed by event traffic. It will not be possible to drive through the Frisco Square Christmas Light Show Saturday night unless you already have a ticket to “Dashing Through the Square.” In addition, no parking will be allowed in Simpson Plaza during the day leading up to the event.

Saturday 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

On Saturday, the streets in Frisco Square will be open to traffic during daylight hours, but the parking spaces will be blocked off in Simpson Square and along Library St. As a result, drivers will not be able to park directly in front of the George A.

Starting at 4:30 p.m., many of the streets in Frisco Square will be closed for the sold-out “Dashing Through the Square” drive-thru event. Coleman Blvd., Simpson Plaza, and all of the roads around the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center will be closed, as will the intersection of Library St. and Page St. (see the attached PDF of road closures map).

• Drivers approaching the businesses on Coleman Blvd. should use the parking areas behind the buildings, which are accessible from driveways on Main St. or from World Cup Way.
• The Public Library will close early at 5 p.m. and there will be no access to the drive-up library book drop-off starting at 4:30 p.m. The municipal parking garage behind the building will also be closed starting at 5 p.m.
• As shown on the map, any traffic attempting to travel west on Page Street during the event will be diverted south to Cotton Gin Rd.

All of the roads and the parking garage will reopen at 10 p.m.

This is a drive-thru event only. No walkers will be allowed along the route and no parking will be allowed near the event.
