Ensenada Parade


The parade route will be along the Costero (Blvd Lazaro Card##as)....the beach/oceanfront route. The Costero will be closed from 11AM on Saturday (and probably Sunday) till the parade ends.....whenever that is.

The Costero will also be closed from south of the Navy base, along the public beach area for carnaval activities.

Suggest taking the direct route along Reforma (Hwy 1) to avoid parade/Carnaval activities and minimize any traffic problems.

Best bet is to stop at an 7-11/PEMEX and pick up an Ensenada city map.
