Woodbury Days – a three-day festival expected to attract thousands of people – starts on Friday.

The 46-year-old event will be held in Ojibway Park, near Woodbury High School. It will include a fireworks show, carnival games, a parade, bands, a car show, food vendors, games and other free entertainment. There also will be a basketball tournament, a business fair and robotics demonstrations.

One note: There will be no Woodbury Farmers’ Market on Sunday due to the Woodbury Days parade.

With Central Park under construction, the Farmers’ Market location has been temporarily relocated to Red Rock Elementary School, which is where the Woodbury Days parade starts. “While this has been known since the start of the season, we want to remind Farmer’s Market visitors in advance,” said Jason Egerstrom, a spokesman for the city.

The Grande Parade starts at 11 a.m. Sunday, and the route runs from Red Rock Elementary School (staging area) and continues along Commonwealth Avenue from Radio Drive west to Sherwood Road west to Woodlane Drive north to the Woodbury High School parking lot.

The entire parade route will be closed to motorists from 10:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, but emergency access will be maintained to homes along the route at all times, Egerstrom said.
