Harrisonburg Police encourage safe and sober driving on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

Police want to remind party goers to celebrate responsibly by calling a friend or cab to drive you if you've been drinking alcohol, celebrate with people you trust, watch out for pedestrians if you are the designated driver, don't leave a celebration with an unknown person and call police immediately if you see any suspicious activity.

There will also be street closures in downtown Harrisonburg on Dec. 31.

Here is a list of the closed streets for the 5K race between noon and 5 p.m.:

Main Street from Cantrell to Gay streets

Street closures for First Night from 5 p.m. until the event ends:
