Road Closures Planned For East Windsor Torchlight Parade

EAST WINDSOR, CT — Residents are invited to celebrate the holiday season with the annual Torchlight Parade and Carol Sing, hosted by the Broad Brook Fire Department in partnership with East Windsor Parks & Recreation, scheduled for Saturday, December 20, 2025.

The Torchlight Parade will step off promptly at 5:30 p.m., beginning at East Windsor Middle School and traveling down Main Street in Broad Brook before concluding at the Broad Brook Fire House. Following the parade, a variety of family-friendly activities will be held at the firehouse, including tractor rides, refreshments, arts and crafts, caroling, and a visit from Santa.

Due to the event, temporary road closures will be in effect beginning at approximately 5:15 p.m., according to police. Main Street will be closed at the intersection of Main Street and North Road as the parade starts. As the parade progresses, that intersection will reopen, but a complete shutdown will be in place at the intersections of Main Street and Depot Street, as well as Main Street and Mill Street/Highland Avenue.

Officials said those sections of Main Street are expected to be impassable to all traffic for approximately one hour due to fire apparatus staging and heavy pedestrian foot traffic. Motorists are urged to plan and seek alternate routes.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item to benefit the Five Corner Cupboard and the East Windsor Power Pack Program.
