4th of July Traffic Restrictions (After the Fireworks) Map
Bike Corrals: In an effort to minimize vehicular traffic and encourage exercise, the Police Department, with the assistance of the Police Explorer’s Post, will have two bike corrals at the lake front. One will be at Deland Park next to the Police Command Post and near the war memorial. The second one will be in the South Pier area in the green space just south of 534 South Pier Drive along the boardwalk. The corrals will be available for holding normal sized bicycles from 11:00 am until 11:00 pm. Bicycles not collected by 11:00 pm will be impounded. There will be no charge for use of the corrals, so please take advantage of them, and leave your car at home!
*New this year we will also accept wagons and strollers as long as personal property is not left with them.

4th of July Parade
Sheboygan Independence Day Parade- NEW ROUTE!
9:00 a.m. start at North 9th Street and Center Avenue, then north on 9th Street, east on Michigan Avenue and south on Broughton Drive.
In preparation for the Independence Day celebration in the City of Sheboygan, the Sheboygan Police Department would like to advise the public various ordinance and policies to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable holiday:
Reserving a spot for the Independence Day Parade:
We would like to remind the community that the policy of the City of Sheboygan is that you may bring tarps and chairs to hold a spot between the sidewalk and street along the parade route after 5:00 AM on July 4, 2016. Any items placed out prior to that time will be considered abandoned property and may be removed. This is to help minimize the amount of over-night vandalism and help to prevent conflicts over those spots.
Following the Independence Day Parade, Broughton Drive will remain closed to vehicle traffic and parking will be prohibited from Michigan Avenue south to Wisconsin Avenue.
Cafe con un Poli
North Flats Neighborhood Walk
The North Flats Neighborhood will be having a neighborhood walk on June 14th, from 6:30 PM until 8:00 PM. Neighbors will meet at N 8th Street & Superior Avenue, where we will walk around the neighborhood. The goal of the walk is to look for things that can be improved in the neighborhood, as well as get the neighbors to know each other more.
Cops & Bobbers
Cops and Bobbers is a community event meant to build relationships between the Sheboygan Police Department and the children of the City of Sheboygan. Officers and children will enjoy an afternoon of fishing together. This event is meant for children between the ages of 7 and 13 years of age. No fishing experience required. Parents are encouraged to stay and participate in the event. Anyone over the age of 16 needs a valid Wisconsin fishing license. Fishing gear will be provided for anyone who does not have any. If you want to bring your own rod and reel, that is great! (Please, no fly fishing rods due to safety.) Snacks and drinks will be on site; but, a packed lunch is suggested. If a child signs up prior to the event, he/she will receive a Cops and Bobbers T-Shirt. Volunteers and officers will be standing by during the event to lend a helping hand.
FREE PARKING for this event!
Memorial Day Parade
The Kohler Credit Union again this year took the lead in organizing the 2016 Sheboygan Memorial Day Parade. The Memorial Day Parade will start at 9:00 AM, Monday, May 30, 2016 from the intersection of N. 7 Street and Center Avenue. The parade will proceed north on N. 7 Street to Superior Avenue, west on Superior Avenue to N. 9 Street and then back south on N. 9 Street to Fountain Park where the Memorial Program will continue.
The Sheboygan Police Department would like to remind the community that you may bring tarps and chairs to hold a spot on the city parkway between the sidewalk and the street along the parade route after 5:00 AM on May 30, 2016, the morning of the parade.
Any items placed out prior to that time will be considered abandoned property and removed. This is to minimize over-night vandalism, arguments over perceived claimed spots and fairness. We seek the community’s collaboration in looking out for the safety of all during this event.
