Large crowds are expected for the Deepavali celebrations along Serangoon Road, especially on Sunday, the eve of Deepavali.
Motorists are advised to make alternative travel arrangements and to drive with caution. Strict enforcement action will also be taken against illegal parking.
This is according to a police advisory sent on Thursday.
The advisory also included a reminder that public drinking will not be allowed in Little India from 10.30 pm on Friday to 7 am next Tuesday.
Retailers that sell alcohol after the permitted trading hours may have their liquor licences revoked.
Little India has been declared a Liquor Control Zone under the provisions of the Liquor Control (Supply and Consumption) Act 2015.
The same rules will apply to the Liquor Control Zone in Geylang over the long weekend.

Hundreds of old drafts of writing, including many of her efforts to draw Chinese poetry at a monumental scale, have been recycled into these rocks over the years, most recently as she worked on her commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which debuted on Nov 21.
