That is what I thought. Sawgrass is not a square and is not designed for large events like parades or festivals. Unlike the Town Squares, there is very limited parking around Sawgrass.

Closing off Meggison for a parade is a bad choice. On the west side of The Villages, Meggison is the only north south road from 44 to 470. On the east side, the only north south road south of 44 is Morse until it ends at the roundabout with Meggison and then Meggison is the only north south road to 470.

If they want a parade near Sawgrass, they should use St. Catherine Circle to Ezell. People could see the parade and they could leave Meggison open.
