Springfield’s Pancake Day Spectacle Closes Main Street for Two Days – Here’s What You Need to Know

In preparation for the World’s Largest Pancake Breakfast, Main Street in Downtown Springfield will see some closures. On May 17 at 10 a.m., barricades will be placed at Main Street intersections at Bridge Street and State Street, allowing traffic to cross Main Street from Boland Way to Harrison Avenue and travel down Court Street to City Hall Place and back to East Columbus Avenue. “No parking” signs will be posted and enforced starting on May 16.

On May 18 at 4 a.m., Main Street from State Street to Bridge Street, Boland Way, Harrison Avenue, Court Street, and City Hall Place will close to traffic. These streets will reopen around 3 p.m. after the World’s Largest Pancake Breakfast has been served by the Spirit of Springfield with the help of hundreds of volunteers. The event is sponsored by MGM Springfield and will feature pancakes, bacon, coffee, juice, milk, and water for $3 for adults and $1 for children. John Doleva, President of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, will serve as the event’s Honorary Chair.
