Frisco Streets Closed for Frosty 5K, Merry Main Street Weekend
Frisco has closed Main Street, Frisco Street and portions of Frisco Square for the Frosty 5K and Merry Main Street holiday events, creating changes to traffic and parking in downtown for the weekend. The city is urging residents and commuters to plan alternate routes, follow posted signage, and expect restricted access to some businesses during set up and the events.
Frisco is implementing targeted street closures and parking restrictions as holiday programming moves into downtown this weekend. Main Street, Frisco Street and portions of Frisco Square are closed to support the Frosty 5K and the Merry Main Street festival. The closure window for the Frosty 5K is scheduled for early morning, approximately 6:00 to 10:00 AM, to accommodate the race and associated road safety operations. Additional closures and traffic impacts in Frisco Square began on Wednesday, Dec. 3, for event set up.
The measures will affect morning commutes and weekend errands for residents across Collin County who travel through downtown Frisco. Motorists are advised to plan alternate routes, expect temporary no parking zones and anticipate times when access to some businesses may be restricted. The city notice includes routing and parking guidance for attendees and asks drivers to obey posted signage and directions from public safety personnel to maintain safety and event flow.
Merry Main Street will feature family oriented activities timed throughout the day, including a Breakfast with Santa and a vendor and entertainment schedule in Frisco Square. The Frosty 5K is the early morning portion of the program, with safety operations concentrated around the race course and staging areas. Event set up that began earlier in the week means some closures are in place before the weekend festivities, and residents should watch for lane changes and temporary barriers.
For local businesses and residents, the closures carry both disruption and opportunity. Foot traffic for the festival can boost sales and civic engagement, while delivery schedules, parking for patrons and staff commutes may require adjustments. The city provided contact information in the public notice for questions about closures and logistics. Drivers and attendees are encouraged to allow extra travel time and to follow the directions of event staff to keep downtown moving and safe during the holiday events.
